So I resigned from my job about a month ago but, I technically stopped working at the end of January and went on mental leave.. It has not been the smoothest process especially at the very beginning. As a parent you are torn between guilt of providing financially and trying to avoid a complete mental burn out..
Not to mention, I empathize with the burden that my husband will have to endure as I know he will feel the slack.
However, I’ve learned the best option for me will always be to choose avoiding mental burn out because I know the when that frustration builds up: I get sick, I get mean, I get negative, and everything is overwhelming. So, at this point, it’s best to silence the noise even if the decision seems as if it will cause destruction ( 9/10 it won’t because what does not positively serve/benefit you will ultimately destroy you slowly anyway. So get out of whatever it is while you still have the strength to choose peace for yourself, otherwise you become conditioned, stagnated, unmotivated, uninspired the list can go on.
And today and only today I was able to sit with that guilt of the financial decision of leaving my work place because I was able to sit and get a glimpse of the light at the end of the tunnel.
MY CHILDREN! I am honored to have this moment with them, witnessing every milestone, witnessing everything that I have instilled in them. My 10 year old has become more confident, my 4 year old has all his basic learning down for kindergarten, and my 1 year old is potty trained. I DID THAT!!!! I HAVE BEEN PRESENT FOR THESE MOMENTS! I HAVE BEEN ENGAGED AND ACTIVE IN LEARNING THEM MORE!
SIDEBAR: I would like to add my job was not a toxic workplace my managers were actually very supportive and helpful but, trying to jungle a job that required my attention for 8 hours in (WFH) call center setting while needing to simultaneously still provide attention to my children was A HEAVY LOAD! (Note: my circumstances and location play a lot in the resources that could have been taken advantage of but, I choose to be responsible for my kids, so daycare was not an option nor was a babysitter )
It can be very scary and challenging being a mom/ parent, but the reward is always going to be your kids. Are they well mannered, are they empathetic to others, are they retaining information, are they asking questions, do they so love to others, all this falls on us as parents, we help mold them. Granted I am aware of some that may have disabilities, but regardless you still want the best for your child and you still want to DO YOUR BEST!
This is your sign to keep going! BE PROUD OF YOU! BE PROUD OF YOUR DECISION!
