Thanks T2 and 2B, I tried to post earlier but it disappeared when the site went down. I wonder when they will finish the "work" on the forum.
T2, I have always been very "loyal" when it comes to the people and places I have worked. I just can't understand the way people move from place to place and "loyalty" isn't seen as important nowadays. Of course it hasn't always been in my best interest in the end. This time I really wanted it to work not only because of myself but because of the others who joined when I did. I'm guessing that this is another opportunity to learn from my sitch. And yes, losing M and R of 26 years does seem like a great waste, doesn't it?
Thanks and I agree that it is probably best for now. I have to remember that there will be other opportunities. The worst part for me will be the lack of freedom that I will have to be there for my D14 if I start working for others. Funny, just when, after so many years of worrying more about making enough to keep the family going, my kids are now more important to me than my success in business. At the same time my W has gone the other way, wanting to be successful in her work being more important than her family. Probably a natural thing as the kids grow older and don't "need" her as much (or so it seems). Too bad, if we could have worked through this it could have worked out and we both could have gotten what we wanted. MLC is such an awful thing for those going through it and all those having to deal with the fall out.
