I've had enough of the stress of being a mother, wife, employee. I am a failure. I admit it. I own it but I'm not a door mat. I've had enough. I'm not in prison. I'm out of here. To reassure you - 2DC 20 and 18, grrrr. DH wants a divorce.
I am currently temping and have squirrelled away an emergency fund so I've got a buffer while I sort myself out.
I know starting again and feeling so battle weary I'll probably start againon minimum wage but having sustained a good salary in a job I loathed for 16 years I now feel it's time to put the effort into establishing a new career where I am valued and feel valued, is engaging and sustainable - given my age, although I still run for a bus. 
I spent the last two weeks registering with employment agencies. Had great advice about making my cv more marketable.
Do you have top tips for holding my nerve? Do you have a similar experience and want to share the ups and downs; joys and challenges of the "second chance"?
