[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Tough love message that I don't have time to tone down: OP, you'll do much more damage to your family by doing what you propose than by sticking around. Of course your children need their mother more than money...what are you thinking? Plus, consider the tragic message you'd be sending to them.  Eventually, when they are old enough, they'll think of you as weak and a quitter unwilling to do what it took to provide for her family, rather than the selfless martyr I think you are envisioning. They will have a cross to bear. They'll forever be the kids of that woman who committed suicide...and they won't have a mother to turn to when they are feeling haunted by your death.  You talk about your husband remarrying. Are you truly willing to risk him marrying a woman who doesn't care for your children? [b]Frankly, I think what your are contemplating is the height of selfishness, not selflessness. So what you're educated? Getting a fucking waitressing job if you need to. Get two of them.[/b] Throwing in the towel should not be an option. Call a suicide hotline now. [/quote]

Please read this. You are being selfish.

I have two jobs -- my regular job, and another part-time job I do in the evenings after my kid is asleep so we can make ends meet. If you take on something part time you can add the "fat" to your budget you need to pay down your debts.

Throwing in the towel is not an option. Would you want your kids to kill themselves if they were in a similar situation? Or would you want them to rise up and do EVERYTHING they could? I'll bet the latter. That's what they NEED you to do, too. It is not hard to get a part time job -- believe me, I have waitressed, worked at fast food joints, etc. It is not beneath you to be a survivor, even if it's not glamorous. [/quote]
