This may be a bit of a novel, sorry… First time poster here and it's quite a story. A little backstory – In 2020, my wife handed me a somewhat unexpected divorce, throwing things into a bit of a whirlwind – we've got 2 very young boys who are my entire world and, obviously, my world revolves around them. With the severe cut in time with my children, I try and make the most out of every minute I get, and pounce on any additional chances I get to be with them. I've been working for my current company for just over a year. I'm a graphic designer/videographer – have been for the past 15 years and I've got a resume and portfolio I'm extremely proud of.

I don't think abortion is something I could go through with myself and my ex fwb / baby daddy refused to discuss adoption of any type. he knows he's going to have to pay child support because I refuse to let him get out of this when it took us both to get me pregnant.

Hi y'all, first time this has ever happened to me. I started working for TSA one year ago, and honestly I should've listened to the red flags I was seeing when I started. But I was too blinded by hopes of a decent work schedule and rumors of a pay raise. Then I got stuck on the 4AM start time, and was stuck there. Waking up that early has to be the most grueling thing. Anyways, I was trying to survive my schedule, waiting for the next shift bid, which was to start the same day I hit my one year, which would've also entitled me to a bonus as well. But I called out semi frequently as I wasn't getting enough sleep, or on some nights, no sleep at all.
