Just got a call and the interview is scheduled for next Wednesday. Again -- it's a few pay grade below what I really want, but it will get me back into the district and from there I can keep moving up.
Yes - I am torn on the issue with the family member... On one hand I do feel bad about it, but on the other hand... Well, everything that has happened up to this point is all because of the choices that my W made.
All I can do now at this point is just get out of her way and let her continue on her merry little way...
The hardest part will be protecting the kids from this. I do think she is a wonderful mom and I don't want to limit her time with the kids -- or get into a nasty custody battle. I do believe the kids need both of us in their lives -- but I am worried about them being exposed to her stress and depression when I move out. I also am not sure I can trust her when she tells me (like she did yesterday) that she will never say anything bad about me to the kids and she will never allow them to believe that I "abandoned" them (since I am the one moving out.) It's nice that she said all of that yesterday -- but seriously, at this point, I don't know if I could trust her to tell me if it's raining outside or not because it just seems like she is lying about EVERYTHING and to everyone... And the only person she is really confiding in is a 25-year old -- and she's probably lying to her as well.
So messed up. So happy to finally see some positive movement on the job sitch... time to keep moving forward to a better and healthier living situation for me and the our kids (at least I hope it will be a healthier situation for the kids...)
