Actually, I took a graceful step to the side.

I was publishing a magazine and left that position to care for my mother. Then I worked as an editor of a trade magazine for several years which I did from my home office. I left that at the end of September.

Now, I have returned to my original career as a freelance writer which I also do from my home office. It's a lot less stressful. No responsibilities except making deadlines. It also gives me more time to spen with my mother.

Taking care of my mother is my full-time job. Writing is my part-time job.
