In order to make up for suddenly becoming a single income household , I needed 4 things:

1. Refinance (complete)
2. File taxes as Head of Household)- STBX has agreed to let me claim the kids so I can do this.
3. STBX needed to help out with daycare expenses for D3 (he will do this)
4. I need a 8% raise - still working on this one but feel confident I can make it happen in the next year.

Feeling some giant relief!


Good for you!

About the raise, ask for what you need! I can tell by reading here you're worth at least 8% more. (and the gender gap is 19%)

Let me give up the need to know why things happen as they do.
I will never know and constant wondering is constant suffering.
