The first thing you need to do is completely separate your poker bankroll from the money you live on. Manage them independently. With an 18-month-old depending on you, this is the single most important decision you could possibly make.

If I were you, I'd find a new job where I could work part-time, and spend the next six months concentrating on moving up online. You'll make more money playing poker, and be able to spend time around your family too. Good luck!
