I understand, that is a tough situation to be in. Burnout is a real emotion.

what was it like

I worked for a boss who gave me a chance when I was rather unhirable. I worked there for three years, but I was burning out hardcore. She was kind but she paid me much less than a normal professional would in that position, and took advantage of me.

She and her husband ran the business, but I continued to be burdened with extra responsibility, no extra money or benefits. Eventually, the gas station down the hill from us was hiring at a hiring hourly rate than I was receiving from them. I ended up leaving and going back to school.

That's excellent. I don't think you should take on this boss's emotions as a reason to stay with a job you're burning out on. I think you should take the small step of looking at what's out there, and maybe having a few interviews. You could try explaining to your boss that you need benefits for the kids. I would be surprised if he did not understand that. And if he does not understand that, well, you will know exactly who you work for, and that will be additional impetus to move on.
