I've been dating her for 4 months. She posted her story on another forum. She initially refused to share her childhood until I informed her I needed to know everything. It wasn't fair that while I shared information about my life and secrets, she was withholding things.

This is what I got:
- She was arrested and locked up when she was only 10 years old for 2 GBH (grievous bodily harm) charges on two small kids.
- Several months later she got transferred to an institute and treated there.
- She got released when she was 16 and monitored during her HS years, followed by continued therapy sessions and evaluations.
- She was molested and raped by pedophiles her mother left her alone with. While locked up, she had a miscarriage; one of those POS had impregnated her.
- At the time her anger was towards small boys mainly, not girls.
- She used to take it out on living things (killing a couple pets) too and claimed to at some point felt nothing.
- She's now 21 years old and expressed remorse for everything. She claimed to have been fully rehabilitated.

I'm not an angel myself. Even though I've not done the things she did (I didn't harm an animal nor kid like she did); I used to be an alcoholic and at some point used drugs. Sometimes I would steal things. Like her, I underwent rehab sessions and I'm at a better position in life now. I believe someone with a violent past can change. What do you think?

I'm in a bit of a dilemma when it comes to my future. At the moment I am managing a gas station making roughly $75K a year. I've been there 15 years and when I first signed on the company (which is privately owned) was really good about how it treated it's employees with competitive pay w/paid overtime, monthly bonuses and really good health insurance that after five years we didn't have to pay for, but the overall vibe was a place you really wanted to work at. However in recent years things started to change, and I understand change and growth are necessary in order to thrive, but it started when they restructured the pay to not only be less competitive, but narrow the gap between part time and full time to where it's a joke (bonuses remained). Then they switched the insurance to an HMO that we couldn't really use anywhere, and had to go through hell to get the simplest of things such as prescriptions. Lastly they've recently demonstrates how little they care about the people who helped make the company, choosing not to listen to them with half hearted apologies as we continue to be overworked and undervalued. They occasionally throw a random bonus to try and appease us, but it's a drop in the bucket compared to the record profits they're making. I'm dissatisfied, the jobs been hell on my body (since we don't get breaks, and overtime I've developed eczema on my hands from all the hand washing which is a pain) and while I don't dread work, I'm also not happy there either

So I find myself wondering what to do next. Do I stay, and push for the next position which is store manager, which will not only mean more money, but more work and right now with us not having the staff to maintain would probably mean I'm working 2-3x as much since I'll be salary (currently I'm hourly) or do I dust off the resume and try and find opportunities elsewhere?
