[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DH gave up his career due to our son's disabilities. It was in stages - first PT then quickly became a SAHD.

This was the only way we could make everything work during the years when our oldest needed intensive therapies outside of school (4 days a week) and also take care of his younger brother. And it's been a luxury to be able to have them have a parent home all these years.

But the cost to his career and self-esteem was huge. The irony is our child is now fine. Entering high school with minor supports - the early intervention poster child, if you will.

My husband OTOH has not yet found his way back to full time work and I doubt he will. Just too many gaps in his employment history. We'd do it again but cost was high.[/quote]

This is us, except DH works and I am at home and we have two children that needed the early interventions.  We to wold do it all again, but the thought of re-entering the workplace after 14 years is daunting.  Plus, it always seems that when I start the beginnings of going back to work, another anvil drops from the sky and I have to put the search on hold again. [/quote]
