I’ve worked in education for nearly 30 years. It’s not the same job that I went into - the pressures are different and the lack of respect from children and parents makes it very stressful. I’m on ADs, can’t get through an evening without a glass of wine, dread going to work etc. Last night DH said that he’s fed up of seeing me like this and that I don’t need to go to work. I could leave and then look for something else without any time pressures.
Half of me feels so relieved, the other feels like a failure. There are some lovely aspects of the job and some people I would miss. Pls the fact that I’ve never not had a job - since I was 15. I only had 3 months mat leave. Plus I have no idea what to do with the rest of my life! Should I just stick with what I know or quit??
