There was a slightly more complicated calculus for the main person, she had to give up participating in her children's before/after school life except on weekends/adopt a 4.5 hours sleeping regimen, and she had to / wanted to earn enough of a cushion in earnings/savings because a Los Angeles job with seniority paid more than any job she could get closer to her home in Hemet including commute costs. I can feel the pain in the writing about what sacrifices she made so her children could have a better life, but it worked out for them all it sounds like.

- messick 9y agoVery bad.
