The Husband

I haven't even mentioned my husband yet, I have to say I have kind of been in shock since this happened.  I guess I just never expected him to be so understanding about this whole thing.  I remember coming home and saying "you'll never believe what happened to me today."  I told him and he said "you'll find something."  You really don't think too much about it I guess until it's been a year and a half and you are wondering what you are going to do for work.  I think he likes his meals ready all the time and all the special attention he gets when I'm home plus taking care of the yard and all that good stuff.  My husband has been a blessing to me.  Most of my family is very understanding of all this turmoil.
To be honest, without having to drive, buy the clothes, special things you have to have, even making good money I probably wasn't really making that much, God knows you spend what you make for sure.  I still have a lot of my severance package left, I have friends that have used all that and most of their 401K.  It's sad, the taxes on that money is crazy and it just isn't worth drawing it out if you don't absolutely have to have it, my friends need it for house and car payments.  There are many in worse shape than me for sure.  That doesn't make it any easier, you pretty much feel worthless, when you've worked all your life the guilt sets in, you feel like you should be working outside the home.
