    Well my family and I have decided to do therapy together to salvage our relationship for the next couple weeks. So i'll be calling Swift tomorrow and see if I can schedule orientation. I would like to go L/P once I get three months in. I just want let everyone know how much I appreciate their support. I also do not regret taking this break as it will take that amount of time for Swift to follow through and by that time my family and I will be on good terms and hopefully in a better relationship.

    Thanks KC. I appreciate the kind words. I have realized going into a job with less worries is better than going in with more worries than I can count. My relationship went from awesome to bad and I take fault and it is up too me to repair it. Things are bad in this economy and we all have to take the proper steps even if it means taking a break from doing what you love.

    I'm sorry that you have to step back for a while, Kinghunter... but I think you're doing the right thing. You can't fully concentrate on learning a job when you're distracted with family problems. Take care of yourself and please continue to check in and keep us posted. We care. :yes2557:
