I love my daughter and love being as involved as possible, but sometimes, in a moment of weakness, I am very well aware of what might have been!The Exceptionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13758654167029552230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9218017137310902714.post-20327381388771261452008-11-15T17:58:00.000-05:002008-11-15T17:58:00.000-05:00Fabulous resolution to your inner conflict, TE.

That 26 y.o. who has nothing but career success on her mind won't find happiness from what she's doing - not from the experience, not from the end result.<BR/><BR/>And you will find much happiness by loving your child unconditionally.<BR/><BR/>Which audio book did you listen to?

Have I experienced this very same feeling!!! ...Wow. Have I experienced this very same feeling!!! <BR/><BR/>I, in effect, gave up my high powered career for children. It wasn't a decision that was that difficult at the time as I was still married. <BR/><BR/>No, I don't make the money I once did however I do work for a small but quickly growing company where everyone has small children. They completely understand my situation. I am also close to home and my childrens' schools. I am eternally grateful for the situation!<BR/><BR/>But boy, that resentment feeling that you describe... so true. Their dad continues on... but then I think, "Hey, at least he's working hard so that I will always get child support!"<BR/><BR/>:)<BR/><BR/>Stay healthy and give that girl some lovin'!!https://www.blogger.com/profile/10112766306021310705noreply@blogger.com
