infants of depressed mothers
Career adivce-Mothers Only?
I am a recent graduate and I have a job that I hate. It is keeping away from my 1 year old child, and I am becoming depressed about the whole situation.
My daughter currently lives back in my home town with my mom. The plan was to move her where I am in six months of me starting the new job and finishing my training. I have been on the job for six months and I still haven’t finished the training. They have just kind of stuck me where they need me for the moment.
I work in the production industry so i never know when I am working, whether it is 5 or 7 days, so sometimes I go weeks without seeing my baby, and this situation makes me cry daily.
I want a way out or a career that is normal. I need some advice my relationship with my infant is suffering.
Even for a college grad it’s hard out there right now, isn’t it?! I would look into a job near your mother because you might really regret this time away from her later (and now, it seems). If it is a possibility to stay with your mom and get a less professional/paying job or something until the economy straightens out (if you can’t find a good position), that might be better for your emotional well being. I know you probably worry about what your resume will look like, etc. but honestly, at this time in the country, I don’t think employers would hold it against you. I am also in the Power Tools Industry and we have been hit hard so it’s understandable seeing that with new grads now. In the end, the most important people are you and your daughter! GL.
