[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, it seems like you want people to tell you "Yes, if you take a year off, things will be way better and you can resume your career as before". But it just doesn't work that way. These situations are unpredictable and ever-changing, and we all just have to live with it.

What will likely make things better is:

Sorting out whatever is going on in your DH's head and in your marriage-- it really seems like that's a huge part of the problem.

Accepting some childcare help-- even if that means paying a premium for a SN-experienced nanny, and taking a very hard look at yourself to see your role in the prior nanny thing not working out.

Taking a deep breath and accepting that your DC's condition may never change no matter what you do. How would you want to live if you knew it would never change?[/quote]

Op here. We still have the nanny, I just meant it wasn’t the game changer I hoped it would be. She’s wonderful but it hasn’t substantially changed the realities of my life in a way that has made it feel do-able.[/quote]
