    Glad you had the conversation, and great news about the job :)

    How did the rest of the holiday turn out?  Hope you are keeping well.  Job prospects look good even if it will be a little struggle until all sorted.

    Hope the holiday went well, Missy, and things are a bit better relationship wise.  Good news on the job front!  It'll make so much difference having a regular income.
    Live the good life where you have been planted.

    Ah im sorry for not posting. I’m struggling massively today. Things have changed. Me and OH managed to sort some things out whilst on holiday and I feel like we’ve got to rock bottom so now we can start going upwards, but yesterday job offer doesn’t seem to be so clear cut at all. And the other job that I was also banking on has come up but it appears I didn’t score highly enough and I’m not being recruited. This is a huge blow. I don’t know what I’m going to do for work especially when we’re going to be selling the business. I also have this huge complex of now not being good enough. It’s taken so much for me to pick myself up and dust myself down and build my confidence back up after OH’s behaviour. And now I just feel knocked straight back down again. Like I’m not good enough for anything or anyone. Not in the best place. I’ll be ok. It’s just going to take some time.

    Things sound so tough for you.  Hang in there.  You are just as good as anyone - just remember that.  The job wasn't meant to be but that doesn't mean there isn't a job out there for you.

    Look after yourself.
  • Sorry you are having a tough time. Try to stay optimistic, obviously something better round the corner for you. Not easy when you're worried about money, but hang in there.
