In November I moved 750 miles from home to take a job I didn't want with a company I don't like but it was the only job I could find that would help meet my family's needs. Yesterday I was approached about a new job with a company back home working to provide mental health insurance coverage and EAP services for employers. They know that I have bipolar disorder and for some reason the founder of the company thinks that could be a real asset to them since I could be passionate about their services as I help them manage business development.

I love where I live now but the chance to go home again and be with my wife and daughter every day would be such a blessing.

If you are the praying type please pray that the door will open up for me to get this new job. If you aren't the praying type then I still covet your good thoughts and wishes.

Thanks,
Mac

Hey Mac! Wow, what a tough decision! If they approached you and know you're BP, hey...they want you! Unless your wife and kids can move up there with you sometime in the future, you'd probably be a lot happier back home with them. The hardest decision to make is between two positives. And yeah you're in my thought, prayers, sending good vibes...not sure what to call them, but I'm supporting you, too!
