Bingo Hope... two kids and a house to run, is a full-time job, and is even recognised as such by most countries laws when it comes to divorce, in that if one is the money maker, the other raises the children and maintains the house, both have done equal employment in the eyes of the law as such. Children and a house is a full-time commitment, no doubt at all. Good to see you are giving yourself more credit for this, because you deserve it.

Hope, there are always options for employment if you want it, often we just need to think outside the box. Often nowadays employment in fields such as your own, can be done from home to cater for illnesses such as PTSD, or even establishing your own web site and doing a little cash in hand work for anyone in the world. You control how much you do and when you work as such. Options are always available, not just the financial aspects, but more the human aspects to make us feel we are worth something more, if that is what one needs to feel comfortable within themselves. There is nothing wrong with not working because of PTSD, or working with PTSD, both are an individuals choice, and only the person knows or not, whether they and their PTSD can cope or not. Hell, some don't work and PTSD kicks them all over the place, then by getting out to work, that helps them control their PTSD. Some go on the opposite spectrum, in that they can function daily, but when exposed to people and employment stressors, that sends them over the edge and ill.

Either scenario, options exist more often than not to cater the individuals needs for self worth, or PTSD control and management.
