I'm so happy but sad that it has come to this

for those of you who have read my last post life wasn't going to well for me. UPDATE! My old boss called me and asked me to come back to work. This makes me so happy because I would be working with the people I care so much about and I know they apprieciate me. However, The b/f isn't happy at all. He has turned the whole thing around to nothing he does for me is good enough ! how , I'm so tired and how can I hold down a job? ( emotionally tired yes and doing everything for him and his family yes.But, not too tired to start something on my own). he has been giving me the silent treatment and is treating me like I'm nothing .( really nothing new ) so I have decided to take the job and do whatever I have to do for me and my son ...doesn't mean I want to leave him but if that is the only way I can start a life of happiness then so be it. he never loved me in the first place..I just hope I can keep the job and not let him pressure me into having to make a decision of him or it. please say a prayer for me to be strong ...thanks for listening. I just wanted to share the good news with you all.

Good on you LOST! Good on you!

It won't be easy, but we will be here to support you!

Behind you 100%, Lost. Stick with your resolve. You don't need to be slogging through thick mud in a destructive relationship, when you could be running full out with what you want to do. If bf wants to be rational and support you, then "so be it." If not, then "so be it." I'm with you!!!! Break free from the sickness. billieJ

Congratulations and good for you for taking the job that means so much to you!
Having your boss call you to come back to work says a lot about what a good worker you are and what a thoughtful company and boss you will be working for again.
If you bf feels worried or threatened about the job, he may feel relieved when he sees it work out well. I hope he can come around and be happy for you.

Congrats on the job. Oh, and tell your boyfriend to grow up or get lost.

NuckingFutz couldn't have said it better.

PLEASE be strong! Do what is best for you and your son. Do what makes you feel happy and full of light.

Anyone who regularly drags you down emotionally or mentally is not good to spend a lot of time around. Real friends, people who really care, will be supportive, build you up and be honest but kind. Guilt trips, blame, judgements and anger come from people who have their own problems to work on in themselves. Until they can admit they have a problem, and not everyone around them, there's little hope of having a good relationship with people like that.
