I have found that the longer I fester in resentment, the worse things get. I just do my best to be straight and give the other person a chance to respond, I hope things get better. Getting more education as well as applying for other jobs seems like a good idea too. I think that having the conversation with your boss is a good thing and can be positive.

i’m sorry that things are tight – we’ve just weathered the tightest time in our family history and it was only the uncomfortableness of the situation motivating us to act on our own behalf. if god had taken it away we would have been rescued instead of stronger.

i am praying for you and your words and conversation with your boss. candle is lit. nice to read your words this a.m. i really needed it.

It's so easy to lack the motivation to make the changes that will improve our lives. It's so easy to make excuses, for the situations that we find ourselves in, and can't see a way out of. I have been through a similar situation this month. A "friend" stole $800.00 off me. I hid under the covers of my all too comfortable bed, crying, and wondering how she could have done this to me, after knowing everything that i have been through this year, and knowing that doing that to me was going to set me back so far. Knowing that it could even possibly send me back to a life that i never want to return to. Knowing that i struggle with bills every week, and that she was stealing any chance of me being able to buy my children Christmas presents. I spent a week there, in bed crying and wondering why me...while the situation just got worse and worse. Face your "too hard basket" ... nothing is ever as hard as it seems, in hindsight. Apply for jobs. You have nothing to lose and a lot to gain. Get the information that you need to go back to school, and set a goal to be organised by the fall semester... Most importantly...talk to your boss. The sooner you get that over with, the sooner it will be one less challenge that you have to find the strength to face. I truly believe that every single challenge like the one you are facing at the moment, are sent to us, to test us, and make us stronger. Every single one that i face, just reminds me of how bad my life, being an addict was, and how grateful i am to be where and who i am today. Think of the things that you faced on a daily basis, as an addict. Now think about the things that you have to face now. That is what i try to do. The Now is a lot better.
