Yes, that is very true. Is divorce your only option now? Have you tried marriage counselling - together or by yourself? It's always worthwhile to look at all the possible solutions.

This type of "hurt" is short term and should not be part of a person's decision to leave a job, IMO. Working in an environment that is unhealthy for you is reason enough to leave. Finding a replacement for you might be painful for the owners, but from my understanding of what you've told me, they are at least partially responsible for the unhappiness you feel.

> Death hurts everyone.

Yes, and this should not even enter your mind as a possible solution.

AdaGrace, you know that I care deeply about you and your personal travails. I try to give advice and support but I'm limited to my own experiences and outcomes. Let me put it this way:

- my divorce was one of the best things I could have done. We had no children but it was still a painful and damaging process; one that left me in a state of major depression for over a year. It was STILL the best thing I could have done.

- I have never left a job and regretted the decision to do it. Owners deal with it as they would any other business decision. Co-workers deal with it because people come and go all the time - that's what workplaces are like!

- death by my own hand has never been a possible solution to my problems. I have had suicidal ideations, but really have only ever craved the peace that death would bring. But I would never, ever want to leave the legacy of suicide for others to deal with, so I guess I've never really been suicidal. If you are, then you MUST get help NOW. Really.

Have you tried making a priority list? Really - what are the issues that you feel you have to address in order to be happier?

with much concern,
pc
