IMHO - get out before this eats you alive.

Time to sit down with bf and discuss the situation. Maybe you can come up with some ground rules that everyone can agree to and see if the next 30 days get better...

Your goals of RN and accounting are great - just not sure at what cost you should have to get them (theres money and then there is peace of mind)...

Excellent posting. Please pay attention to these words, Inny -- "eating you alive."

Maybe you were just letting off steam in your long post, as one person mentioned. On the other hand, these posts about your situation have been doing on for a bit now. Can you take 2 years of this? How much will you be stuffing to get through those years? What will the costs be to you? Will you SI? Will you develop a stress-related illness such as lupus? high blood pressure? an eating disorder? etc. etc.

Again, as this post said -- you have got to make yourself think clearly about the cost!!!

I have been reading a lot of Jung lately, and the latest book is about the abandoned child within. I am so influenced by what I am reading, I want to commit every page to memory. Bottom line is -- people who have abandoned child issues think that we are not worth anything and people-please like crazy. Sound familiar?

You are NOT getting the results you want from bending over backwards to please these people and the time has come to put YOU FIRST!!!

Please use that as your mantra: Me first. And figure out what you're ME needs and wants, and what is going to hurt your ME.

I am working on this too so it is not empty words.
