[QUOTE="tiredmommy, post: 605930, member: 1722"] (((Signorina))) It sounds like you've kind of had a ptsd reaction. It's understandable under the circumstances. You've dug in and scratched out a new life for you and your family in the wake of the Great Recession despite formidable set backs. It must feel like your hard work is splitting through your fingers. I would think that you need to feel in control right now. Here's some thoughts: Make sure husband signs up for unemployment ASAP. Review your finances: what's coming in and what's going out. Where can you adjust? You can save hundreds of dollars a year just by buying a decent travel mug and making your own cup of coffee instead of going to Starbucks or another coffee shop. Do you have the newspaper delivered? Do you actually read it? If not, cancel the subscription and get your news online. Try to meal plan to cut down on waste and make life easier for you. Also, your division of labor should be revisited if husband will be home. Maybe he could do the daily chores and cook during the week while you take over on weekends. You are a very strong person and you will get through this. (((Hugs))) [/QUOTE]
