Just moved and got offered a job.

[Fathom4]

Damn, life is getting crazy.

I just moved into a rental house over the weekend as my wife (ex?) and I separated. Two back breaking days of moving and other than my daughters room, I still have a ton of unpacking and organizing to do. I had to get their room done so it would feel more like home. Luckily there are a bunch of kids their ages on the street so they were pleasantly distracted this weekend. They weren't even ready to go back to Mom's for the week.

Then I just heard on a job I interviewed for last week and it's mine if I want it. They never even interviewed anyone else as I've worked with them for years and they know me well and feel I'm perfect for the job. They are very supportive of my situation with my pending divorce and custody issue though and would be very flexible on my hours. The only problem is it would be an hour's commute. (these smiley's suck) My future ex is sincerely being very supportive though. She knows that I've had to turn down offers in the past due to her frequent job changes and feels this would be a good move for me. Yeah, I know I should be leary, but she also knows her family is very supportive of me and that if she tried to pull a fast one they would disown her completely, so I'm sure her sincerity is genuine.

Damn, lots to think about, but it sure is nice to be wanted by someone.

You are on the move... good things await you from here.

Atheist or theist, I'll keep you and your girls in my prayers.

Change can be hard, but it can be good.

PS... Please don't let this be the start of a religious thread. I just like to send positive vibes out... it's my job, dammit!

well, im glad things are going somewhat your way, think long and hard, and try to get advice from a third party about this new job, if this job is "perfect" then go for it, as long as it doesnt cause any problems at home and with your children.

Thanks Isla. We're "theist's". My daughters are in Parochial school and I like the idea of the religious education, it certainly helps keep them grounded.

[edit] Thanks for the + vibes.

If you have already signed a consent order for custody then you should be ok. Don't tell her how much you make or you will be paying some unreasonable amount of child support.

If you were still debating primary and secondary custody then I would be weary of the travel time.

Sounds like you have a wonderful opportunity.

Well I am glad to see things are starting to look a little brighter for you. It can be hard to start over, but sometimes the peace of mind that comes (eventually) with it can be worth the sacrifice.
