[QUOTE="Signorina, post: 605838"] I can't get it together. I'm in crisis mode with my own workplace- which is also being restructured. I have security for now, but I have a toxic co worker looking to bury me. I need to be at the top of my game. My husband's former employer had to make a big payout settlement to the federal gvmt this week. It was the sister division who was fined & they let go nearly everyone there two weeks ago and husband's boss's boss personally called h to let him know that these terminations would not affect their division. Surprise! He did say something to h about perhaps finding a place for him once the dust settles but also told him he should not let that stop him from pursuing opportunities elsewhere. I think h is clinging to that but I feel it was more of a gentle break up let down-like "we can be friends." I just can't go back to where we were before h took this job . H wants to rekindle his business and the idea makes me sick to my stomach. The taxes, the collections, paying everyone else first. I can't carry us again. I can't do it. I just can't. We lost so much ground trying to save the business. We financed it w personal loans which we are still paying off. And I pushed hard-too hard- for my promotion so we could make up the difference and get some security. And now I will be working at great personal cost & under tremendous pressure and we will be struggling anyway & losing security. I can't do it. I can't take the pressure if we're struggling. I know I'm not counting my blessings, I get how fortunate we are and how so many people have it worse. I want to be positive and thankful. But I have been there done that & we thought for one brief shining week that it was all behind us and it's NOT. And now I have bills coming from that brief shining week. I can't do this again. I don't think my marriage is going to survive it. I can't put my kids thru the simmering hostility AGAIN. My saving grace was that when I came home from work it was to a peaceful clean house and I could leave the strife at work. If there are bills to pay and h is working from home at all hours of the day & night again trying to get by by stringing sales together & customers are yanking his chain I will lose my mind. This is like a bad dream and I can't wake up. I am not even supposed to be home -but i came home last night knowing that I could steal a few hours with h before driving back to work this morning and another night away. I didn't expect this. I wish I hadn't come home. I just can't do it. This is so unlike me. I usually hit things head on. But I am past my breaking point. [/QUOTE]
