Got called into the office at work this morning. Had a talk with the nightshift manager.

As of 6.45am this morning i am unemployed. Occupational health signed me off work, i have been told that im getting one more months wages and any holiday money i am owed. I dont have to go in for the last month, but will get paid for it.

Told the wife who picked me up from work, she went to peices, she has now gone up to see her mum. Our marriage is very strained and was in danger of falling apart, now this has happened.
We will have to leave our flat and fing alternative accomodation as the place i live does not accept benefits. I am seeing the benefits office tommorrow about disability benefits.

Its like a sodding big boot in the face, i feel like my insides have been ripped out. God i dont need this shit.

Sorry if i come into chat and bomb all over the place, i just need to be with others who understand and well, just be here.

Dont know what im going to do, i feel like running and hiding, i just dont know what im going to do if i lose my wife.

Sorry

Here are some hugs and just "being" with you on this. When tough times happen, running and hiding does feel like the right thing but its not gonna help. Keep your thoughts on the new things your going to create in your life. See yourself in your new place with your new job and focus on that. Also, keep your focus on keeping with your wife. Show her this isn't gonna affect your relationship, you love her more than a job or place to live, together you can figure this out. Your in my thoughts today.

Nows a good time to think of what is really important to you and your wife. There are other jobs, but other wives are harder to come by. Go to her mums. Make it right. You can do this. I've been there.

Backspin --

No apologies, please.

Please F-I-G-H-T like hell for what you truly want.

Running and hiding will make you lose EVERYTHING, even things you don't yet know you have -- like strength, and courage, and feeling.

Your wife is on your side, from the little I have read of her posts. I am sure she NEEDS you to be brave and determined now.

You can get through this. We are here for you.
