I have a dilemma...

Submitted by Retired on Sun, 05/18/2008 - 11:48pm.

About a month ago, I joined my SS's soccer club's Board as their webmaster. The board was elated to have me join. With the recent events, I don't know what I should do. I don't want to drop this club like a hot potato just when they got all excited and I worked so damn hard on their website rebuild. But, tomorrow is a Board Meeting, and before the board meeting is a club fund raiser event that I know my STBX will be attending. At the same time, BM will be there too, and it's going to be an awkward deal due to the fact that I won't be around to pick up SS from school... guess who STBX is going to call to pick him up... I can only imagine BM, since she's 'right around the corner'.

I don't want to let this club down, nor the kids. My intention for doing the things that I do is never to show off, but of general need. But at this moment, I don't want to see or talk to my STBX. I'm debuting of not going to tomorrow's meeting.

Can you call someone

Just tell them you are having personal issues beyond your control that will prevent you from doing the duties. Tell them you don't want to go into it.

Retired be careful. This is a way to suck you back in. Let BM and DH take care of the responsibilities. It is truly theirs not yours.

I don't think I'll go to the meeting. I'll wait until the next one, I think. I don't really have a 'backup', wish I did. I don't really know anyone at this club, because I'm new. I think I'll fill my obligation for this season only, and after this, I'll move on. I won't have to see STBX, because he's not a Board Member, and I'll just not attend any club functions. Here I go again, I have no kid in the club, yet I still volunteer... geesh... and I'm such a horrible stepmother. Whatever.

I'm not really worried about getting sucked back in, it's beyond that. He really hurt me this time, and as much as a forgiving person as I can be, I don't think this time is going to be one of them.

So, you're right. I shouldn't go.
