I just quit my job and ended a great friendship! I was traveling so much with work(6 weeks here, 4 there, etc.) my son wasn't happy and last night he had a TOTAL breakdown..so much so, my ex called me to come help him. My next trip was to be for 3 months(to oversee a construction job)

Congrats on the right decision. Your son will always remember this. And I bet you find something better. You will look back on all of this and be glad you did it!

CONGRATS!

You made the best choice. Time is far more valuable than money, since money you can make, but time you never get back.

Things will work out and you KNOW you did the right thing. Good luck girl ;)
