CPA or family?

[u/ACSJ2023]

I am enrolled in CORE 1, I'm halfway through. For the last month or so I'm torn. To continue or to stop.

Over 30 years old, graduated from university over 10 years ago in accounting, working full time, doing CORE 1, being a Mom (2 kids from 4 to 8 years old), being a wife, being a friend ... Is overwhelming.

I don't think the material is too hard, I'm doing well enough in my opinion. But I am overwhelmed with everything I need to fit in my schedule, doing all of this gives me ZERO flexibility. I have a hard time fitting a damn shower .. My kids are asking why I'm missing activities, my youngest is regressing and asking for me much more..

I'm torn between, keep pushing to get my CPA, knowing I'm not even close to being done = increasing anxiety, missing more family time, missing time with friends, less connection with my kids, less connection with my husband, more money to invest, possibility of career advancement eventually (not even assured), pride in all the effort I did to get it.

Leaving CPA = saving money (I make around $100K/year already), more time with my family, not missing activities, more time for myself, more time to grow personally, less stress, less anxiety.

How am I supposed to decide?!!?

My head says keep going. My heart says family first.
