[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Many thanks to the PPs who took the time to write supportive responses.  Bedtime tonight was the usual wrangle, but as I got them to wind down I had that sinking feeling as I thought about how much I'm going to miss them.  But yes,[b] I am doing this for them even more than for myself.   [/quote]

lol keep telling yourself that.
How so?[/quote]

Well, let's see.  If I don't go, I will be fired and will never work in this industry again as I will burn every bridge I've built over a decade. Without my salary, we won't be able to pay our mortgage.  Those seem like important reasons to me.  I understand that you disagree, but it isn't your life or family.  I am doing what I think is best and I'm not questioning my decision.[/quote]

Can I ask you honestly:
Do you really think they would fire you?
Aren't you being dramatic about never working in the industry because you chose not to leave your kids for three months?
I can't imagine a workplace would fire someone.
Couldn't you find another job? [/quote]

You seem naive.  Do you work?[/quote]
