New job offer with loads of potential. Just the move I've been looking for.

Just at beginning of splitting from my difficult unpredictable H. 2 DC who are under 6.

Haven't accepted the job yet. Should be fairly flexible but budget stuff I haven't done before and managing a team.

Can I do it? Or is this the way to madness? Should I just write off 2025 as the divorce year and focus on the kids?

Do it. It can all be part of your new life and a good way of separating the past from the future. You just have you (and the kids) to consider and if this will take your career and earning potential forward what great timing !

Do it - the opportunity might not arise again. Believe in yourself!

Absolutely do it- beginning to manage teams and budgets is a big leap into management and you’ll only likely go up from here. You’ll have people to support you

Thank you! We are still living together and he's so horrible to me. He really dislikes me. And I worry also that he won't be reliable to do pick ups and so on. My current boss really likes me and would be understanding (a divorced woman herself) but the new job is the unknown. I find it hard to focus when the atmosphere is so awful. But you're all right that I have to plan for the future too.

Crack on OP, do it.

OMG do it. You are getting divorced so as to make your life better.
if you can, don’t tell him about the job. He’ll only try to ruin it.
