[quote=Anonymous]DH, a lawyer in his late 40s was laid off in 2008 while I was a lawyer turned SAHM to our 4 kids, one of which had serious chronic illness. We needed health insurance, at least as much as an income. I was able to get a job across the country and took it. DH did doc reviews and stayed here with our kids. I got a job back here 9 months later and returned. He either did doc reviews or worked part time for years at small firm, unable to get a good, full time job despite excellent experience and top schools. Very stressful for our marriage and at times for our kids. I earned substantially less than he did pre 2008 at the time. I basically gave up hope. About a decade later he landed a great job and has been there now for 6 years, very successful. In retrospect I wish I hadn’t been so stressed bc it enabled one of us to be much more available and physically present while our kids were in high school, which definitely was a good thing. [/quote]
