[quote=Anonymous]I’m the special needs twin mom PP. People just don’t realize how brutal it is. Things my spouse has already done- paid for executive coach (eventually she ran out of feedback for him, said he’s already doing everything humanly possible). He’s gotten into the best shape of his life. Wardrobe and hair are good. Works on career stuff 40+ hours a week (along the lines of consulting for what he previously did). There’s only a few dozen firms in the world that hire for what he does and he’s already in touch with all of them…they’re just not hiring for now and it’s hard to know how long to wait for the market to turn before pivoting completely to try and start over on another highly paid track.

We have already cut the expenses we can- we don’t eat out, travel, cut all housekeeping and childcare help, etc, but what actually moves the needle- our insane healthcare expenses- we don’t feel like we can cut. Not without risking our severely speech delayed preschoolers ever being able to speak fluently. If not for their needs we could just downsize and be set for life, but we need the “big job” health insurance to cover ABA, speech, OT, therapies, future $$$$ autism private school tuition, etc.

I don’t express any anger at my husband (it really isn’t his fault anyway) and I tell him someday it will all work out for the best. It rings pretty hollow though.

All that to say- OP, hang in there. [/quote]
