This is Hard: Part II

Part Two was the realization that your family and friends do, in fact, still love you and support you even after you quit grad school.  

Huh.  Imagine that.

There may be a Part Three... the psychological fallout of leaving behind such a huge part of your life - especially when the majority of it happened in your 20s and/or early 30s - should not be discounted.  I know it's there, the fallout (Mama Nervosa discussed this recently).  But, let's just deal with one thing at a time, shall we?

For now, I'm happy, at peace with my path, and excited for the next chapter of our life as a family: P2!
