So I just quit my job

jjbmstinco · March 2015

I wish I could say that I am happy but instead its just a lot of crying and rambling.

I know its for the best and that I was miserable anyway. But I don't feel like I am leaving because I want to. I feel forced because of whatever my P had against me. I love my kids and I don't want to leave them.

I start as a therapist June 1st.

What? Did you just walk out? Are you okay?

jtmh2012 · March 2015

Don't look at it as being forced out. Look at it as standing up for yourself.

Is everything okay? Tell us what happenend. I am happy you will finally be away from your P.

As much as it hurts right now, I am sure it is probably for the best in the long run.

Hugs!!! I love how Mark put it. I completely agree. If you need anything just let me know.

I agree with everyone else. I hope everything is okay.

Thanks everyone. Its been a long day with a lot more crying. So if you are going to get fired in my district my P does it the Friday before spring break. This is next Friday the 20th. I couldn't face the idea of me being let go. Budget cut or being fired would kill me. I have done nothing but build this program from square one. I have spent more time at work than with my husband those first years. So with the date coming up, the anxiety was killing me. What if a calendar invite shows up? I know what that means. So I felt the need to get my letter in before they got rid of me. I know I am being a little crazy without truly knowing what would happen. BUT I didn't have anything to go off that was going well for me.

The therapist job finalized my FT position this week. So I turned in my letter of resignation. I will finish out the rest of the year. I am so scared that I am making a mistake. I am drowning in the "what ifs" but seriously its been a long year. IDK if I would make it through another year like this one. I am worried about who will take care of my kids. J doesn't get it. He keeps saying that if I am so miserable, then I should be happy to leave. I am not happy to leave. I felt like I didn't have much choice. There are some good things for going to my new place, but my heart is still at school.

I am so sorry you were under so much pressure. I've been there before and it is no fun. I hope the rest of the year goes ok for you. I understand about worrying about the kids. DH worried about his old class so much when he left this year. He was still taking parent phone calls for awhile because he felt so guilty. I really hope you have a much better work environment at the new job.

I'm sorry to hear that. At least you are getting to finish out the year. I understand about the kids thing. It's what keeps me going sometimes. I wouldn't want to leave for a certain few, even though I'm not happy in my district. You just have to remember that sometimes, people in education just don't care about the kids, and you can't change that no matter how much you try.
