I know EXA...I am so sorry you are going thru this. I know EXACTLY how you feel. My hubby lost his job in 2008 at the beginning of the recession and it took him 18 months to find another job (harder work and less pay--ugh). I too am a born worrier and I just about lost my mind wondering how we were going to make ends meet.<br /><br />1st thing--he HAS to go file for unemployment--I don't know where you live, but it can all be done online here in Ohio--you don't even have to set foot in the unemployment office. It's not hard to set up and you file by phone each week. <br /><br />The money will help and there is nothing wrong with taking the money. He can still be the stay at home dad--just take the benefits while he is eligible--apply for the odd job here and there and they will still send a check. <br /><br />My hubby ended up cashing in his 401K from a previous job and between that, me going back to work full time and the unemployment beneifits we survived.<br />Somehow we managed to squeek by until the new job came along.<br /><br />I will say a little prayer for you and your family. Let me know if you want to vent--I've walked in your shoes, I know how you feel.Lurker Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05235841521499414900noreply@blogger.com
