Thanks for replying. I think allot of this post initally was just to get it out of me. It's not something that DH "gets" so I find it hard to talk to him about it. I have been ina bad place lately with this kinda stuff and everything has been so overwhelming, emotionally and allot or irrational thoughts/feelings. Sometimes I just need someone else to tell me things rationally for me to think about it again.


Im sorry you are feeling this way, you have probably already thought of this, but will put it out there anyway - can you do voluntary work for another organisation? Why does it have to be this particular one?!

i think there may be another issue as well with the emotions attached to the last place you were at, but maybe finding somewhere new will allow you to put them in the past & move on
Doesn't have to be this one, in fact Sloane you hit it on the head about the other emotions being attached. In fact i don't want it to be this one - I want to move on from all the things that are attached to this place. I think that finding something/somwhere else will help me with this and give me something else to focus on.

Have you tried looking up govolunteer?

Some things I thought of when I was at home pre-going-back-to-work were things that would involve the kids. Perhaps a role visiting elderly - they just adore seeing the kids and it might open up a different set of relationships than kid-related stuff.
Star - i'll have a look at it... never heard of it before.
