Thanks Ginger! Yeah, this was huge. The crux was I couldn't trade off my job. I am court ordered to pay out several thousand dollars a month to XW and if I moved into a lower paying job I could be considered 'underemployed' and would face legal action. The only option I really would have had was to give up my parental time to XW so I could pay her even larger amounts to raise them with them growing up while I was working to support it all. Yeah, right. Over my dead body. So yes, this is a huge blessing and I'm very appreciative.

Hm, seems like I'm still working through some anger. I'm just glad it's working out. Everything about divorce, spiritual, legal, etc, is gross to me. But I'm out of the game and I still have my family. Not the family I envisioned, but a closer and more positive family than I have ever had.

Thanks for posting, I'm following all your sitches, I've just been less vocal because I am kind of spewy lately wink
