My return to work has proven to be more of a challenge than I anticipated.

I have been given a lesser role for September which gives me lesser responsibility and has made me extremely anxious and unhappy. I have asked to meet with my boss and am waiting on the reply

I thought about the difficulties faced by returning to work mothers and the injustices and humiliation faced by some, simply because they chose to give life. I find it cruel and corrupt. Who says the western world is more advanced or enlightened with women’s rights? BS in my view and a looong way to go before such claims are made.

I read a few journals online about return to work women and there are so many stories of unfair treatment or demotions and paycuts caused by pregnancy and motherhood

No gambling to add to my load or cloud my judgement

I read a few threads of wives with CG husbands who have gambled away hundreds of thousands and who are still in denial about their addiction.

I can say today that I am a problem gambler. One bet is simply not enough for me and I

Lose control when I bet.

I have made the conscious decision to stop and I did not gamble yesterday nor the day before and I will not gamble today.

I am responsible for the financial damage to my family and I own it.

I pray I will never find myself there again.
