Your question is really good and I hope you get some meaningful answers out of it, I am just here to help you in another regard: timing.
This was posted 9 hours ago and your comment about 8h30 hours after its initial 'interest boom'. Usually things die out in hacker news after a night or so so you probably won't get many answers out of this.
My lateral advice to you is: keep your eye open for more of those "how did you get out of your {mindless|boring|notwhatiwant} job" posts that usually appear here every 2 months. These posts attract lots of people and are usually very active for almost 2-3 days before people stop answering.
If you catch'em early certainly you are gonna get lots of answers.
Someone that may or may not be me might have found one of those posts someday in HN and he was lucky to come up with a quick throwaway account and post almost exactly the same content as yours and he got (quite a lot of) meaningful answers out of it from people from varied walks of life.
Good luck on your stuff, you are not alone in this "problem" you have.
Also, pat yourself on the back everyday for providing for your family and keeping strong even tho you hate what you do on a daily basis. You are doing good for your peers.
