Things are going awful here

I'm really sorry to hear that you guys are having such a hard time. Life is really challenging right now for a lot of people.

It really is, it is hard to see just walking around, but it is.

{{hugs}} You certainly have not had an easy time of it lately :(

It really really sucks to be fired--even when it was a crappy job that sucked, it still stings to get fired :\ Really messes with your head! I may still be a little bitter at my firing two years ago by my old craptastic boss, even though I know it had more to do with economics than with me personally.

Just keep reminding yourself that sometimes the crap in our lives is just making way for something better--it may not come as quickly as we'd like but there comes a time when you think "I am glad x-bad-thing happened because it made today's joy possible" ;)

That's true. Can't wait to be able to say that!

You're definitely not a loser. If you are, so are a lot of people in this country. I am hoping for the best for you and your family.

Thank you!

yeah we are considering moving back in with the in laws... don't know how much money it really saves but hey, you are so not a loser!!

I heard on NPR not too long ago that a lot of families are "doubling up" to get by, and that if it weren't for that, there'd be a lot more people living in poverty.
Why are you thinking of moving back in with the in-laws? Why do you think it doesn't save much money?

oops i responded below, sorry~ and yes i have heard that people are doing a lot of people moving in with parents, having their parents ditch their house and move into inlaw quarters w/ a child etc.

Glad to hear things are at least going well at your mom's place. Neither of us expected to end up where we are but I think we'll both look back on this and be glad that we spent this time around family.

And I also believe the more down and out you feel, the more opportunity there is for positive change. I saw this happen when I felt like a loser in Grad. School and ended up going on an adventure and when I felt like a loser in Miami but ended up in a better situation in Kansas.
