Talking it out isnt going to change my work situation, my financial stresses, etc. And changing those is easier said than done. Starting over heading into your fifties is not something many look forward to. Nor is the feeling of time having gone by so quick and feeling like you have little to show for it and what's the point of doing it for another 30-40 years. Life insurance doesnt help.... my death would solve my family's money stresses. Sounds cold to say it like that, but I'd be lying if I said the thought never entered my head.
