A few months ago I hit my partner. I was arrested and I now have a criminal record. It should never have happened and I deeply regret it. A few weeks later I lost my job and had to support myself using savings. Since then I've made every effort to work on myself. I've had mental health issues for as long as I can remember and have never had the chance to fully work on myself. I'm seeing a counsellor and have done an anger management course and a violence in relationships course. I think the courses have been a lot more helpful than the counselling tbh and is really improving our relationship as well as my own personal mental health and sense of wellbeing.
I was due to be starting another course in a few weeks but have now been offered a job. I'm worried that by taking the job I'll be losing the ability to work on myself but I can't live on savings forever. All of the courses / groups I've found have been Monday to Friday 9-5 which are the same hours as the new job. If we end up breaking up I'll be stuffed financially in a few weeks if I don't take the job. But equally if I take the job and we break up sure I'll be more financially stable but I'll still have a criminal record and a hell of a lot of work still needed on myself with no means of being able to achieve it.
How do I take the job whilst still being able to work on myself?
