I am sorry I haven't checked in sooner,but my life has been very busy.My career has taken off and is literally taken me with it.
It is so amusing that at this time last year,I was not involved in my career other than w one long time client.
I had been out of the work force for over ten years and lacked confidence that I could resume my career after such a period of time.In fact, I was so sure I was headed for a D,that I was reluctant to do anything $ wise that might have put potential child support and alimony in jeopardy.
Last fall,despite my fears, I ventured into something on a part time basis and it literally saved my sanity and restored my self esteem.In addition, it caused my H to look at me in a different light.He started to miss me when I was away from home and began to see the woman he had married 16 years earlier.It was a major turning point in our relationship.
However, at this point I am in "over my head" w exciting opportunites. I love my work,however,my boys are in middle school and I am conflicted about my loss of time w them.Now that they are out of school for the summer,it is even more difficult.
I know my H is very attracted to the successful career woman that I am again and I don't want to lose that appeal.It's tough on me and I find myself feeling tired and irritable at times.
I check in here almost daily to keep myself on the DBing path,but don't usually have much time to post.Please forgive me for not responding at times.
To all of you who are "fighting the good fight" ...keep the faith,things can work out in your favor.Just remember to take care of your own needs and personal growth as the rest will fall into place.
