I love my daughter, but now I have a very limited, narrow opportunity to find employment. At 50, it's a challenge to find any job and with 18 years of being a housedad, people think its great that I did that, but no one will give me a job. I would suggest that housedads phase out of the job of raising baby about the time first grade rolls around, and get back into a carreer, so that you have a life 10 years later, versus being unemployed like myself!
Divorce
I hear what you are saying. I don't know that I will be married forever and it's disconcerting to think that you would be left with that uncertainty after all those years of being at home. I don't know what state you live in but here in Florida you would definitely be entitled to alimony after 10 years of marriage. It would give you time to find work and get back on your feet. Good Luck.
It's easy to look at the
It's easy to look at the downside with the situation you are in right now. On the other hand, your daughter will remember the 18 years her dad spent with her growing up and raising her. Nobody can take that away. Additionally, it will take time but you will find a job. If you were able to raise a child then your determined to get a job even at 50. Stay positive!!
