Hm. It sounds like you'll have a lot of stress no matter what since you'll be the breadwinner.
What about starting off with a small side job, like tutoring kids in math? Then you can set your own schedule. Or you can work for a tutoring company. Do you think that'd be lower stress?
Maybe that's not the best example, but my point is that accountants excel at math; therefore, you can apply your math skills toward something math related as opposed to going back into finance/accounting. (I'm just thinking out loud... Thinking of different ways you can apply your skill set...)
It might help to jot down a list of all your skills, technical and non-technical ones, to see what kinds of jobs you can find that match those skills. At least that's what I would try to do.
