Try spending 4 months away from your kids, and trying to somehow justify it by telling yourself that in the end it will be the best for everyone. It's hard. But it's what I tell myself, because it's the truth.

A mom with no job, who demonstrates to a child that it is ok to sit at home all day, is much worse than a mom who demonstrates to her child that by busting your ass and sacrificing some things for short periods of time, that you can go really far in life.

And remember, Liv will not remember any of this. Ever. Her earliest memories will only start to stick around age 4-5. Bust your ass while you can, so that when the time together does matter most, you can use it to both of your advantage. It will pay dividends in the future to keep on the path you are on.
