Girl, I don't know how you do it; you must be the strongest woman ever!!! I know you can't escape all of that but have you thought about looking into a different job so you can get a break & breathing space at least during the day??? Karen

Karen,

I've thought about it, but I'm a shareholder in the company and I don't want to lose everything I've worked to attain over the past 8+ years. The company is on the brink of major success and if I leave, I won't be part of it anymore. I could lose so much financially. Also, I really love what I do and don't feel like I should have to give it up...

I just don't think it's fair that I have to make the choice... but no one said life was fair and I have to determine what is most important to me - the potential for huge financial success or living each and every moment of the day in agony! Or, maybe I could chose not to let this bother me... Or, maybe I should get a prescription for Xanax!
