Welcome to the SR family!
You have found a wonderful resource of support and information. Please make yourself at home by reading and posting as much as needed.
I am a recovering partner of a 14 year marriage to an alcoholic. I was a Stay at Home Mom(SAHM) for 12 of those 14 years.
I knew I needed to start taking care of myself and stop being dependent on him. I found a seasonal job that offered full time hours for 3 months. As the season came to a close, I found another job. That job became full-time management. I also took another job, part-time, that offered healthcare benefits. I ended up moving up the ladder with the last job and have moved to a new community as a manager with full time hours and benefits.
It has been 2 1/2 years since I took that seasonal job. Today, I am working full time and going to college (on-line) part time.
I have benefitted from the support I receive here as well as face-to-face Alanon meetings.
Let us know how we can help you!
