[QUOTE="Loving Abbey 2, post: 149824, member: 4845"] I haven't lost ajob yet, but I am feeling like that may actually be coming if things continue the way it is right now. In the last month, I have used over 30 hours of sick/personal/vacation time. I am in a highly demanding job that requires that I actually be working. I work with DSS as an education specialist--meaning for all kids in group homes, hosptials, and Residential Treatment Center (RTC)'s whose bio families live in my DSS' Area office (10 towns), I have to attend thier IEP meetings, ensure appropriate IEP's are written, hold school accountable, etc. I have meetings all over (up to 3 hr drives each way) every day. So when I have to leave or difficult child has a scheduled appointment, I have to find someone who can cover my meetings, prepare them for the meeting and get them the kid's file. And until the last month, things were going well enough that it wasn't interferring with my job. My employer completely understands given the field I am in, however, given the field I'm in, we both understand that I have to be at work. I'm considering looking for another less demanding job, but it's hard to start a new job while in chaos. As for my s2bx, well he is a bad man, but because of difficult child it was more imperative to get out of the relationship asap. I think it would be the same whether she was a difficult child or easy child. [/QUOTE]
