I'm currently self-employed, working part-time in a job I really love. It doesn't bring in anywhere enough to live on, but over the past few years has been a useful small second income for our family, to pay for extras.
I need to get out of the relationship I am in, and to do that I need an income that I can support myself and my children on. Sadly, it isn't possible to earn enough doing what I currently do, so I am looking at returning to what I was doing before I became a mum. I am trying to be grateful for the fact that I can step back into the old role fairly easily (albeit on a lower pay scale due to being out of the workforce for more than a decade), but it isn't a job I am passionate about.
I'm trying really hard to be pragmatic about it, to accept that changing circumstances need sensible decisions, and to be grateful for the options that I do have.
Just interested to know if anyone else has left a job they love, and how it panned out.
