I did NOT want to lose my family but realized too late that I was making a conscious decision to continue with this career. Most find out that it was a choice when it is too late.

Would I change things if I could ...you bet. At this point in my life would I change careers and settle down? Honestly; No. Once again I will say to you: Not everyone thinks like you and you should stop imposing what you think is "right" and be a little more tolerant. NY is a state filled with people who claim to be tolerant right?

This is way to friggen heavy 7 am.
