I've just reached a point I don't want to work anymore. I'm middle management with no prospects and it's too much. I'm now expected to work during my leave that I've been hanging on to. Dh says I can hand in my resignation when we get back and go contract but I know how risky this is. We do have 6 months savings but I'm the main earner.
Please tell me is my mental health, and the childhood of my children worth more than money? I was poor during my childhood and wanted the best for my dc but I feel like I'm breaking in two.

However miserable it is, it is better to have a job than not have a job.

I wish I had held onto the job I didn't like rather than allow twat of an ex to persuade me to leave it and follow his career. Its a lot harder to start over again.
