[QUOTE="Steely, post: 61440, member: 3301"] Oh sweetie...........my heart just aches for you. I SO remember this one company party where I was a top manager, being awarded an award..........I was standing up there, trying to smile, thinking the whole time - OMG where is my kid, and what on earth is he doing to the other kids? It was at this big park and it was night time and he was running everywhere and getting into all sorts of trouble. Being single, like it sounds like you were last night, what else are you gonna do? He was 6 at the time, so I couldn't just hold him while I was on stage. I remember the looks I got from other employees - my employees - as my kid is running awry. I mean what are they gonna say to their boss? Man your kid is a mess! What is wrong with you? I dreaded company functions. Please get help for yourself, and demand a referral for a psychiatrist. I never dealt with the stress of my personal life, until, too late, it had dramatically affected my work life. I opened a new store with 150 employees, and then moved and launched the companies website - meanwhile my son was having one psychiatric emergency after another.........and finally I broke, snapped at work one day in front of everyone - including my boss - who later deemed me unfit to be a manager after my "nervous breakdown". Oh, if I had it to do over again - I would have gotten SO much more help for me. Hang in there......you are NOT alone! But you ARE just as important as your kids.......so demand help for yourself, just as you would for them. I will be thinking of ya. [/QUOTE]
