I guess this is a very common problem and a struggle for many of us. I also think that there is no simple fix for it. You might find yourself in the same situation after some years after you have start over somewhere else.

Maybe you should find pleasure in the fact that you can provide your family, instead of in your work. Maybe you could also try working less and find something else to derive pleasure from. If it is possible, try to find a more senior position in which you can mentor others. It is known to have a positive effect on job satisfication.

Being able to provide my family is the only thing that keeps me going forward but also the thing that keeps me in the hole. When you're good at something, you build your entire life around it, your people relations, your professional network, your job, your career, the city you move to to find better oportunities, the time invested into growth and learning... Everything is tailored based on that piece of "something" that set you apart from the rest and that let you into that door, and the next door, and the next until you (not always, but sometimes) get this feeling of "stuckness".
