Just mention PhD on your CV and job application as "deferred" and number of years completed or remaining. I do the same on mine with MBA. It makes for interesting conversation during interview as I only had two more quarters to complete MBA before dropping out.
Also don't mention dissatisfaction with PhD advisor et al, doesn't sound good. Instead focus on why PhD wasn't in line with your expectations at that point in your life.
