[QUOTE="DDD, post: 605840, member: 35"] Sending supportive hugs your way. I, too, am married to a good man who truly believed "his dream business" would net really high financial rewards. He was wrong. I have worked by his side for thirty five years (long after it was very apparent that his assessment was wrong). It was not possible for me to go back to my career. We are senior citizens with no financial security and it is scarey. in my humble opinion it is normal for you to be disappointed and frightened and resentful. This is quite a huge shock! As soon as you can suck it up..do so. Try to keep positive thoughts. For example, "maybe" some party guest is actually a potential employer or knows of someone. Obviously you'll avoid the job loss at the party but size up the crowd for later possible leads. Regarding your job position your co-workers may think this weakens you but in fact it will make you all the more determined to succeed. Do try to "play act" with the kids so they don't absorb the anxiety AND, as hard as it will be to do, when you've gotten thru your emotional reaction be sure to double up support for your husband. It truly is harder for men to bounce back from career blows. Chances are you are the only one he will actually listen to and be encouraged by. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers. I'm sorry!
