It sounds as though you aren't/weren't appreciated. Losing money is something that happens to everyone who risks things. But so long as colleagues and family are appreciative and mindful of your sacrifice for the common good, most people remain happy, or at least sanguine in their pursuits. Sometimes, all you need is to step back, take a breadth, and ask those around you for their appreciation and support in times of increased stress. This is only true though when collegaues can truly appreciate one's efforts, provide support, and can provide the needed break from business schedules to lead a normal family life. Starting new things generates increased risk, stress (a desire to prove one's self anew), and more tension in family life as the risk and stress is transferred to the home. I would suggest you ask yourself whether those around you can actually support a sabbatical, or whether it is best to cut your losses by leaving unappreciative, unsupportive–unTRUSTWORTHY colleagues.

I will not claim to be aware of all your circumstances, but certainly some. I would suggest that life is nothing but a series of course corrections. Perhaps you have, and all of us do to our own degree, forget about what's most important in our lives.

Being responsible for the maintenance of others, namely a wife, children and perhaps parents and siblings, too, we find it so difficult to balance our time making money or crafting a career with spending necessary time nurtuing those relationships.

Perhaps if you were to never quit on your loved ones but be willing to constantly correct your career course, you will find the blance of life that will result in true peace and happiness.

Facing the "quiting" question myself. Not so much if to quit, but what to quit. A book you might enjoy right now is The Dip by Seth Godin. Reading it myself. Hope it helps in some way.
