Trust
I like to think that I trust Sir in all areas. And it’s easy at times, well easy when my will doesn’t get crossed. Recently we decided to build a house while living with my in laws. Before we moved here, Sir had a good job lead. Because of weather and other factors, the company is not hiring him yet. Which means, us getting a loan is not going to happen until then. I struggle to be patient but finally I broached the subject of me going to work full-time and in the law enforcement field which is the only career I have ever known. He listened patiently to my reasons why this made sense, that I had no intention of making it a career and why shouldn’t I do this for our family. And then he said no…But this time the “no” came with his concerns of me going back into a work environment that triggers the nightmares that don’t leave me after years of a 911 operator. He went on to say that he wanted me to pursue my dream of working with families and children within the foster care system. Something I am training for but seems like it’s out of reach. I didn’t say anything for awhile, I didn’t like his “no”. But I held my tongue and listened for a change. Later that night, he told me how impressed he was that I didn’t argue or get upset with his decision like I usually would. So for now, I am choosing(and it’s choosing everyday) to stay in the safety of his leadership.
