Hi everyone

I didn't get to log in earlier today and want to just say thanks for all the advice and help. Right now I am thinking in terms of the BIG items - saving $1K on rent immediately is more of a concern than whether my utils are $300 or $325.. (they are actually 436 with cable thrown in but not cell phone which is another $88 then once I have some breathing room to work on the details.

It's true that the relationship is the biggest issue, and i wonder if the move idea is just way to avoid the relationship issue, but honestly, I have asked and asked for other ideas and am met with negativity and diversion tactics. So yes, I do know what to do, I just don't like it, but I think I mentoned before, the alternatives (continued financial distress and ruin) are not acceptable options!!

PS - I am happy to report that 2nd job is one I have basically created for myself, keeps me home, is totally flexible, I work late after my son is in bed. And he understands when I have deadlines. He's a great kid, and counseling is definitely in teh cards if just to help keep him that way!

PPS - I will be sure to update everyone, I'll try to keep it light on the drama....
