8/15/2008 at 915a changed my life forever! I was unexpectedly laid off from a job that I was very successful at and loved very much. The last 4 years have not been easy for me or my family. A series of bad jobs and I even finished a college degree in order to try to secure successful employment. The strain on my marriage has also been very tough and I have had no one to talk to about it that would listen with understanding. Our family has been one of success to becoming one living just outside of poverty. Last fall my wife was offered a job that left me as a stay at home dad. My daughter and I have learned a lot about one another but I was never sure I was doing the right thing for her. When we decided to have a family I made all the plans in the world that you could think of so that my wife and child could stay at home together and I would provide for them. I even planned for 1year out of work!!! I have failed myself and my family! On the flip side. You know, I can't help but wonder if all of the obstacles that have been placed before me concerning my continued career search weren't actually placed there by a higher power in order to keep me in my current position of taking care of my little girl! I suppose there is something that he needs me to do for her or to teach her to make her a better person. Now I just need to know what that is so that I can make sure to do it to the fullest of my abilities! If the opportunity arises for me to return to work, I would love for my wife to swap places with me so that she doesn't miss anymore of our daughters childhood like she has so far and feels so badly about!
