I'm sorry you're having such a difficult time.

I'm 41 and have had some career adventures of my own.

I kinda know what it is like trying to find a position teaching at the college level. I led some field trips doing environmental measurements then taught exactly one semester at a junior college. I also was unable to get a job doing environmental work, the job I got a MA to pursue and did a 2.5 year internship. So now I'm self employed as a seamstress. Go figure.

I also understand about wanting a house and a dog. We are building equity in a condo but we are not where we'd hoped to be. I'm so underemployed. We have an 18.5 year old cat and he's going senile.

I understand that teaching at the college level is very political. Can you hang in there? Suggest to the students that they talk to your boss?

Hang in there. PM me if I can be of help.

*Gives you a major soothing hug*

	My husband is my best friend. In forgiving others, we are not exonerating them. They may not deserve exoneration. Rather, in forgiving others we are giving up our anger over the fact that what happened is not what "should" have happened or that our life is not the way it "should" have been.
