Ginger1,

I'm with kml and Elbereth on the job...go for it! I had a meeting with my director a month or two ago in which I told him I was happy with my current position and comfortable. He said he liked the happy but didn't like the comfortable, that growth comes from stretching out and being uncomfortable at times. I can understand why rejection could be scary or new responsibilities could be daunting, but more likely than not if you take a leap of faith you'll work through it to become comfortable in the new position plus reap the rewards of the higher pay and enhanced future career options.

As far as my ex, I am not asking him for more money. He won’t give it to me. He nickels and dimes me. When we split some the big, it’s down to the cent.

That stinks. You taking on the majority of raising your daughter and getting the absolute minimal contribution from ExH.

I’ll work extra when I can, accept vacations and the frills are something i can’t have. At least my kid gets them with her dad and his wife, right?

It's that double edged sword we were talking about previously. Happy for the best interest of the kids, but also personal hurt which can't be separated.

Tomorrow is their 11th wedding anniversary. April fools.
Who would have thunk they would make it is far and I would still never have remarried and still be single and struggling? Crazy, isn’t it?

Lucky me.

Ugh. Certainly not fair. I'm rooting for some karma, even if you won't for your daughter's sake.
