[quote=Anonymous]It sounds like you are feeling powerless to get closer to the life that you want, and that it is making you very bitter and angry.
That is totally understandable. I'm sorry you are in this situation.

Please do not beat yourself up. You don't have a crystal ball, you didn't know things would turn out this way.

I think what you need to do is figure out how to make more money. It sounds like you will feel better if you can make active steps to control the destiny of your own life. You might not be able to transition back into big law, but you don't have to stick to the low pay flex job either.

You have a whole life ahead of you build a beautiful life. It may not be completely optimized in the way you imagine that it might if you had taken a different path, but that doesn't mean it won't be great. Plus, things might have gone wrong in some other unanticipated way had you stayed on the earlier track.

Hugs to you. Don't reflect on your marriage or your husband until after you start to take some steps to feel like an active player in your destiny again. After you feel that, you will likely be less resentful in your marriage. [/quote]
