I think Lurpsie is onto something. You say that both your husband and your therapist want you to keep working. This sounds like a "Fine. I'll keep working. NOW are you happy???" Like you are trying to get them to see the consequences of pleasing them.
This current job doesn't work for you.
Can you do a trial of quitting? 6 months and then see how it is working? If it doesn't work (if you go stir crazy, or if you really want to have money to spend, or if you can't afford to see your therapist when you need to), then you can get a different job.
Then you could get a different parttime job where you go to the office while your son is in school, put your time in and do your best.
I think that the flexibility of your current job is problematic for you. It allows you to procrastinate and work far more hours than you get paid for. I think that if you were in a more structured job that you would figure out how to be productive in the time that you have. It would be a change, but I think a different environment would be better for you.
A trial period would let you try out what you want, while giving your husband and therapist a safety net, so they could allow you to do the experiment.
In any event. Your current job isn't doing it for you. Get out.
