[QUOTE="sjexpress, post: 642112, member: 15790"] Thank you for the replies and advice. I do need to get past my anger and face facts. Nothing can turn back the clock so I must look ahead try to move on. Our local library has someone who will work with those returning to the work force to get their resume and cover letter together so I am planning on making an appointment. after my kids return to school after xmas break ( which is 2 weeks here!). Since I have not worked in almost 10 years and will not be going back to the same type of job, I could use the help on my resume. I also spoke to the state licensing agency about getting my license active to practice again. This will take time and at a cost due to all the continuing ed. I have to make up but it is something I can work towards. The hardest part will be the child care for my 9 yr old mostly when school is on vacation or when he is sick. My difficult child at 15 is able to stay by himself for a number of hours. I will only work part time anyway to start off. Like mentioned above, I have to figure out how much I need to make to give us a cushion and not worry so much if we need emergency money. Right now this feels like the worst thing that could happen...like you said, someone pulled the rug out from under my "perfectly happy little life" and now I must regroup and adjust. Like I said in my first post, I knew the time would come but thought it wouldn't happen so shockingly! Thanks again for listening [/QUOTE]
