Happy New Year and Happy Life. I am so glad that you and your H have found your way through the muck. Life is messy and people have good times and bad ones but I think there is something really cool in looking back and having a shared history with someone- Hey Honey - remember when we dated, remember when we had our kid, remember when you got out of that stupid job you hated so much and finally went back to school - even the stuff that has a tinge of unhappiness involved is part of that history and is the beauty of "til death do us part."
Good luck with school. Grad school is one of the few things I did right. I love my job, I love my collegues, I love working with mentally ill folks and there is part of me that would love to have my shingle up and do a little counseling on the side too. I haven't gone that route because my work responsibilities keep growing and if anything, I may go back to school someday for an MBA in non-profit management. I like the challenge of running an agency, my boss is very hands off so I can take on virtually any aspect of the agency that interests me. Long way of saying - good luck in school and I hope you get to "do what you love" too!
