Subject:

New Year....slow start

    Well given the New Year I had some expectations of myself.  Things with my new ex are going "well".  My previous posts on here have helped clear my mind and we converse and it doesn't end up a shouting match.  Of course 8000 miles of distance helps with that.  On my job front is where I am suffering.  After all that had gone on with the divorce and drama that came along with it I had hoped getting back to work would have been easier, oops guess not.  I have made resolutions for the new year, and they are unfortunately on hold.  On top of this I have lost a bit of my direction. 

     

    I am waiting on my security clearance so that I can get back to work as a government contractor.  My old company royally messed up the program when I left to be with my ex-wife.  I could blame the relationship and leaving work for her, but that isn't fair or true.  The fact that now my company is forced to jump through hoops to get everything fixed is a pain, and leaves me without a pay-check which I could really use.  While my family is supportive I can't help but feel I am mooching off of them. 

     

    I know that things will work themselves out in time, and that I will get back to being stable and working again.  I just haven't felt very useful over the past week.

    It must be difficult Kthulu - you were so looking forward into getting back into work as a way of moving on from what happened with  your ex and that life now 8000 miles away. It is horrible to feel dependent on your birth family when you are an independent adult in the world. And i guess both sets of experiences - splitting with your ex and now relying on your family - don't leave you with too much control. Are there some things that you could do - helping practically in the family or doing something for friends or the local community - that would give you back some of that control and feeling of self worth? Hang on in there, my friend!

    Good advice Roze - dont think I can beat that Khtulu except to say that I really feel for you right now. You have had a tough old few months, but I think some good luck will come your way soon... keep yer chin up and plough on, it will get better soon xxx

    It's really common to feel that way, regardless of what you've been through. You look to 2008 as the fresh start and all's great and fantastic, but actually it's not there yet, it takes time. Please don't give yourself such a hard time kthulu, it's been full throttle in your life for months now!

    Once again my thanks to you all.  My patience was wearing thin and my dreams seemed out of reach, but then, as with all things, the wheels have begun to turn again.  My job is finally falling into place, and with it my goals will be achievable once again.  I can't say thank you enough tou all of you who have been so supportive.  You are right my life over the past year has been going far too fast and I have had to play catch-up and reflect for the past month or so.  The unfortunate part of reflecting on the past is that we have to look at both positive and negative aspects of it, and I let the negative get the better of me.  So I will have to wait a bit longer, but it will be fine and I can stand the wait as well as anyone, after all good things come to those who wait.
