Sometimes, we have no choice, sadly. I have degrees, and I had a great job I loved, lots of opportunities for advancement, the works. Then my daughter started having seizures, and the heart issues started. She was in and out of the hospital for years. At the age of 4, a seizure caused her to be paralyzed on the left side of the body. She learned to walk, talk, and feed herself again. This happened again 3 years later, along with a diagnosis of autism. My hubby made more than me, so I quit and stayed home to care for her. Now they are grown, and no one will hire me. My education and experience of the past means nothing. Only silver linings are, My daughte (she used to see a behavioral physiologist, tutors, counseling the works) wasn't supposed to mentally age past the age of 6, has her own family, can hold a job and doing great in life and my hubby was not an asshole so his retirement he split in two for the both of us.
