Since you’re being honest mate I will to. I have no experience, I’m only in my early 20s. However, I can relate from your children’s perspective. Five year ago my dad walked out on us. I personally blame it on his work. He’s a very intelligent guy and thus very successful. And we always had what we wanted. Not what we needed, but wanted. He made sure of it. And it burned him out. I never saw him in the end, he travelled away a lot and his work became all consuming. What we needed, and he needed, was each other. We could have survived on a lot less and been happy. What your family needs is you. Yes it’s your responsibility to put food on the table, but it sounds like you are someone who will always find a way to do that, no matter the circumstances. But you can’t do that if you’ve burned yourself out, or destroyed yourself another way.they would, but then on the flip side I personally would know I could of gave more and got them a better headstart
Like others have said, we don’t know your life and I don’t wanna intrude. But thought maybe I could help add a angle for you to consider. Find your happiness, mate. Money isn’t it. We need money and work, but it isn’t the reason for life.
Hope you can figure something out for yourself. Sorry it’s been a **** year!
