Do you think counseling will help to deal with another busy season? I am here a long time and I am a breadwinner for 3 families, however I am at a point where I feel I CAN'T DO this anymore.

Then you have to get some counseling and clue your team(s) in. Sounds like there are more than just “client needs” on your shoulders. See if EY offers anything. Get all the help you can at home with cleaning, cooking, chores etc. all hands on deck

If you can’t do it anymore then you have to find another job. It’s always an option!

OP is probably supporting his parents and his in-laws. It sounds like a lot of pressure. A think a lot of stress also comes from this pressure to provide, not only the high demands of PA. I’m sure counseling will help with some of that “pressure stress"

@OP if you feel you can’t leave because you need a visa sponsor either find another employer willing to sponsor or I’d suggest leaving the country (for your own health!). Otherwise, YOU ABSOLUTELY have the option of another job and you will be able to provide for your family with less stress.

If you insist upon staying, I suggest you read “How to Stop Worrying and Start Living"

Absolutely therapy can and will help! I will be starting my 12th busy season but last year's broke me, despite thinking I was partner track. It was a huge internal struggle and stressor for me to have gotten to a point where I wasn't sure that partner was what I wanted anymore. I made the decision (assisted by talking it out with my therapist) to leave PA once I find a good position. But I am in no rush, and since I made the decision have been able to manage some of the best work/life balance of my career. Not because I have checked out, but because I have realized there are more important things than work, and those are what make me happy. I wish you the best of luck! ♡

Can you take a leave of absence? What portion of your pay will you receive if you take a LOA. It might be worth considering for health reasons. A little break might go a long way. Or take extended PTO if you have enough accrued. I am sure EY and your teams can give you some time off if needed.

@OP, I feel for you. I was in a similar situation; terrible boss, frustrated with no where to turn with family (pay & health care) responsibility. I decided to quit many times but didn't have the gut to pull it off. Speak to you spouse, family, and friends to seek their support, Consulting is an option. Just don't bottle up in yourself. I left after 8 months of frustration.

Counseling would help to learn how to say No. Ni to another task given at a last minute, work on a weekend, how to deal with difficult coworkers. So go for it. But also having 3 families you support - there are enough people who can support you. Counselor would help to deal with this as well. The spouse should do more chores at home then

If you are staying, yes, seek counseling. Also, work less hours and spend more time with Your family
