Jeeeeezzzzz. Pat. I feel for you soooo much. While I cannot do more than wish you luck for yourself and say a prayer. My fervent hope is that you find your way through this dark space.

I know young people look at a job loss as a brick wall and life altering (or ending) He may find comfort in knowing that having a job can be even worse than not having one sometimes.
For the past 33 years I have been a small town Dodge auto dealer. Since I had cancer 18 months ago, my business had been battered from almost every angle. 4 months ago I had to conclude that we were NOT going to make it alone. I contacted my nearest competitor and set up a meeting. It was Very hard to admit defeat and suggest Merger, but it had to be done.
I am now about to go from being a proud owner and community leader to a minority owner of a surviving business. And a comensurate pay reduction.

But .... and it is a BIG but.... I am AGAIN surviving. And that is the point. Behind every dark cloud is another day. The experience of the hard times makes us better tomorrow.

Feeling for you

George

Pat,

Oh my dear when it rains it does pour. You know that if there was anything we could do to help you through the stress you are under we would. This is one of those times in life that the ride is so rough all you can do is hold on tight and hope the road smooths out soon.
You know my number and that you are in my heart.

Pat, I read this earlier and didn't know what to say and I still don't know, except to tell you that many people on this site care for you and pray for you.
We will also keep your son in prayer that he finds a new job soon and you won't have to worry about him. Rocky
