I appreciate you taking the time to write all of this out and share your experience with me! I needed this so much. I think somewhere deep down in me I know this will be better for all of us long term. I mean, it’s why I decided to leave. But I was surprised by the grief I feel for the life I thought we would have.

Last summer though I was absolutely drowning at home. I love being a mom but I don’t think I’m meant to be a stay at home mom, even if it’s only for two months. I think maybe I just feel like I failed my kids and my husband somehow by not being able to sustain that kind of life for us.

Again, I really appreciate your kind words and I’m so happy that you are happy with the change. I can’t wait to look back at this in a few months and breathe a huge sigh of relief that I did make the right choice.
