You wake up in the middle of the night - again.  You are in a cold sweat and you think –“I don’t think I can continue working at XYZ Company. It is literally sucking the life out of me. When I was 20, or 21 or 22 I thought , wow, this is great – so many of my friends don’t know what to do with their careers, but me, well I am certain this is what I want to do for the rest of my life.”

We have all seen the commercials. There is the high school graduation and the look of pride on the parents’ faces, followed by a scene showing the final box being packed into the car. Then we watch as the parents and their young adult drive off into the sunset, while sentimental music plays in the background. The picture fades to black and then...what happens next?

You have found your “perfect” guy, and you are floating on Cloud 9. He has met your friends and your family and life is moving along fabulously!  He has talked about a future together.  Oh, there is one teensy little thing, it’s nothing you can’t deal with, just a little thing – he has a child!  She’s young and you are feeling confident that you can win her heart, just like her daddy won yours.
