Another one who was forced to leave a job because of kid issues. Fortunately, I had the skills to become an independent contractor. It was scary at first but one of the best moves I ever made. My salary tripled even after paying my own health insurance and other benefits. I no longer had to worry if I needed to take time off for my child nor any other reason. I could schedule my own hours for what the job and work those hours around my schedule.Check around with companies in your areas. You may well be able to do the same given your programming skills.
