i am jealous of my ex colleague/friend. We are in the same field but she has risen very quickly to a very senior level. Her parents do all the child care whereas my parents aren't around and i am a full time mum now having left an abusive relationship. I feel guilty for being jealous that her kids can have all these extra opportunities with the best schools whereas I'm not really in that position. I somehow compare myself as we are in the same field.
