In light of the crappy economy, some part of me just doesn't know how to feel about this. I'm 35, divorced, living with my boyfriend, and while I am insanely happy with my love life, I am miserable with my financial situation. I can't afford to be out of work. My career student ex husband has decided to go to school for another two years. He's 45 with a pregnant 22 year old girlfriend and on public assistance which, according to the rules of my former home state, makes me responsible to pay child support. I won't even go into the details about him, it just makes me mad. Suffice it to say, he is more employable than me and chooses to leech off the system rather than work to support our 7 year old daughter. Why break the pattern, I've been supporting him for around 5 years now. (grrrrr)....but I digress.....I'm barely into a new job (to the tune of about a week), and I am completely out of my league, not to mention really not happy. I don't want to stay, but I can't afford to leave. I'm doing work that my doc says I shouldn't be doing because of the spine abnormalities i have. I just don't know if I should try to stick it out because the pay and benefits are good, or if I should leave and find something less physically stressful.
