Advice on a job please
goodgirl659
I am in need of a job very badly. I feel as if I will loose my mind if I don't get one soon. I suffer from emotional abuse from my husband and tho he is a good man in his own way we have grown severally apart. I need to prepare myself in the case that we separate and I do see it coming. He is not involved with my unschooling our two kids at all and has never been. He does his own thing and I am use to that where unschooling is concerned. I have a hard time emotionaly in my relationship with him and that is not where advice is needed. If you do have any tho I would be thankful.
My problem is that I need a job and ideally it would be from home. I don't have anyone to care for my girls while I am away at work. I would love it if they could work on their projects and interest while I worked. If any of you have any ideas for me or any contacts I would very much appreciate it. I am a licensed wedding planner but there isn't any business in my area for that. I also am an aspiring florist and artist. I am a fast learner and a hard worker.I have already been all over Rat Race Rebellion and WAHM. I dont need anything fancy because I dont have many bills. I have been preparing myself for being on my own with the kids. If you can help me I would appreciate. thank you so much.

I suspect it feels like you're drowning with just the tip of your
nose left above the water. It's probably too obvious to say this but
a point of desperation is not the best place to make decisions from.
If you can get to treading water in the relationship you might see
some better paths. A really good place is:
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Peacefulpartnerships
I'd suggest you read through the archives first before posting so you
can pick up some of the basic information for building relationships.
And if anyone else feels like they're at the beginning of negative
path in their relationship, please do join! Divorce is damaging to
kids. Even an amicable divorce. Even a divorce from an abusive
spouse. Without understanding that, it's impossible to plan for it
and counteract it. Parents are so busy licking their own wounds they
can be relieved if kids aren't crying out in pain.
Even setting aside the possibility that a disinterested spouse will
suddenly decide the kids need to go to school -- though it should be
examined as a very real possibility! -- it's very healthy for kids to
see a relationship being worked on, even if it's by only one partner.
I suspect most of the marriages that survive happen just by luck. Not
because that's the only way but because we as a society don't have
good models for building relationships. It's all treated as though it
either works or doesn't. And that just isn't so. There's lots of good
advice on the Peaceful Partnerships list.

Yes. An easier job and more moral and better for the kids would be to
repair and sustain your marriage.

Helping parents find a job so they can unschool because of an
impending divorce is very rarely, if ever, an unschooling topic. It's
a "now the kids will go to school" situation, almost always.
