Husband left for the second time - 5

[HelenaJ]

Wow Nicole, that sure is an unexpected change of events! I agree with what others have said, if the numbers make sense I would take the job and become self reliant financially no matter what your H does. You can always go back to part time later if things work out favorably. Personally I would not offer any emotional support, as I see it this is part of taking responsibility for the choices he has made. I feel bad for how it will impact your D and the amount of time you get to spend with her. It will be a difficult transition like you said, but those are pretty typical hours for a full time working Mom and someday she will look back and be proud of how you stepped up to provide and take care of her. These are the moments that define us my friend. Hugs.
