My father hated his job but stayed for 30 years to support our family, even though it made him sick and angry. He could have done a million other things, but he couldn’t see the options. Instead, he was miserable until the day he up and quit. 

The rest of the family suffered, too. 

My first job was toxic and “not me." I quit without notice.
