[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You mean NOT have a special needs kid needing intense care that led me to quit and kill my budding career?

Well. That's a big question. He's functional now, 19 years later, so I guess not. No regrets.

Let's see if I can find a job now. Ha.[/quote]

I was you except I left my job willingly thinking it would be just a few years of blissful baby and toddler fun. Several kids and disabilities later, I knew I wouldn’t go back. I don’t regret those years because my kids really needed me.  Last fall, after 20 years out of work, I felt ready to figure out my next chapter. It was terrifying to think about putting myself out there. I found great support and ideas here on this forum. While I did basically have to start over and the pay is really low, it has turned out to be an amazing thing for me. I have the most supportive and positive work environment. I didn’t think such a place existed. I love my job. 9 months ago I would never have imagined any of it. If you want to go back, give it a try. [/quote]
