[quote=Anonymous]I'm in the same boat. The work/life balance is tough, especially with a special needs child. That said, I'm grateful to be working for a number of reasons: it gives me an intellectual outlet, I care deeply about my work and I feel happy doing it, and the income does help with things like tuition, services, tutoring, therapies, and support for my kid. I 100% agree that building self-care supports like therapy and a personal trainer to help keep yourself healthy and balanced is more than worth it. Those two things (as well as starting to meditate regularly) helped me be present for my kid more than leaving my job would have ever done. That said--it is tough. I have also told some of my closer and trusted colleagues about my DC's condition, which has helped in terms of the work/life balance. [/quote]
