in response to Kirbybuffy... Oh man! Glad to know we are not alone. Its trully sad and scary out there. Hubby been out of normal field od work for 3 years and its been a struggle ever since and seems to get worse! Been looking for work just taking in any job, we have exhausted our life savings jusst to survive, and it breaks my heart! I honeslty don't know what to do anymore. Just got laid off once again, and denied unemployment (long story) I lay awake worrying so much! We know how to survive off very little, but surviving off nothing is not possible! We have a 10 yo and infant girl! What makes it harder is knowing just me and hubby could live in our car, but not the kids, its got to the point where we wonder if the kids would be better staying somewhere else while we stay in the car!? I just don't dont know anymore, I am so sad! You just feel numb after a while! It also kills me because its not bad choices at all, its hard luck. P--prayers!
