[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ladies I’m 44 and was a SAHM for an increasingly abusive high earning man. We had young kids and I was a trailing spouse far from family. M I kicked his drunk ass out, went back to work, and in year two (sales) made over $350,000. I have primary physical custody and an active and fun dating life. The single biggest take away from quarantine is that instead of being lonely and frightened with low self esteem I am a capable, independent woman who is in charge of my peaceful home and life. If they’re mean- GET OUT. It’s terrifying but you can DO it and nothing will ever make you more proud and enabled. It’s not lonely being single. It was horribly lonely being alone and married to a good guy gone bad. [/quote] :roll: I really hate how you dismiss financial concerns-especially in this climate where layoffs are likely and hiring is stagnant. Get real, most former SAHMs will never make 350K. Most people who lean in their whole lives won’t make 350K! It helps no one to be flippant about real financial problems. [/quote] I’m not dismissing anything. I’m sharing my actual firsthand personal experience. I’m a college dropout and those are the facts, for me. Not meant to do anything other than to encourage. You don’t know what you can do (or earn) for your kids till you have to, was trying to provide hope that life can change dramatically and quickly when you believe in yourself enough to know you deserve better! Being treated like crap WHILE being financially subservient is the pits.[/quote]
