Hi this is the first time I have posted on here but I don't know how to get out of the situation I find myself in.
I'm a mum of 1, he's 5. I split up from his dad 3 years ago and have always worked full time. I earn around £20k doing a role I have worked my way up in over the last 7 years. However I am starting to hate my job because the pressure is immense & my travel times are about 2 hours a day. I feel constantly tired and feel like I'm being pulled in lots of different directions. I also feel like I'm failing my child cos I don't spend enough time with him.
I want out of my job but I want a change too. I went onto the online calculator and it said I would be better off by around £60 a week if I took a pay cut and did less hours. But I'm scared. Can that be right? I have no savings and my family live miles away. How long do things take to get sorted?
Any help would be much appreciated
