I'm a professional biologist and I've been running my own consulting business for the past 15 years. My clients love my work, though it's been hard to keep going even part time since becoming a mother. Unfortunately, I've been plagued with chronic procrastination issues my whole life. That has impacted my earning potential and created a lot of misery for me. It also turned into a "dealbreaker" marriage issue for H. I likely have to seriously earn in my personal life if I wish to continue living in the only home that my children have ever known.



I am sorry. This is a dealbreaker for him? Wasn't he the one that opened his own business that failed and put you both into serious financial debt. Wasn't it a joint decision for you to stay at home and homeschool both children, esp. since your son has special needs?

This seems unreasonable in my opinion.
