Not S&B related but need to scream somewhere

[niknik]

Yesterday morning I put my husband on a plane to say goodbye to his mom who was diagnosed with a brain tumor 9 months ago, had just retired and bought a condo here in CO to spend her retirement with her husband and my boys. She was moved to hospice yesterday. This woman is a second mother to me, one of my best friends, and really just a saint.

Yesterday afternoon, I got laid off. No warning. No insurance as of Jan 1. The kicker though, is that instead of laying me off (they refuse to do that) they cut my FT hours to 10 hours a week, no benefits so I won't claim unemployment. They want me to quit.

So now it's a week before Christmas and I'm alone with my kiddos, hoping DH will be back for Christmas and after Dec 31, no real income.
Screams.....

[bcarp30]

[memenee]

So very sorry for all that you are going thru. Big hugs.

[majick143]

Oh Nik, I'm so sorry! What a shitty thing to do especially this time of year.

[busybodyk]

This is what they mean when they say when it rains, it pours. I just hope there is a rainbow at the end. I really hope you can find something new and better soon. And I'm sending all the positive vibes to you and your DH as you grieve the loss of your MIL. Sometimes life just isn't fair

I think you can apply for unemployment when your hours have been cut. Try to apply and see what happens. If your DH has insurance, you can get on his until you get a new job. What did you do for a living? Is there any way we can help? Some of the S&Bers are in Colorado.

[treedimensional]

Oh my gosh! I can't even imagine. I am so sorry you're going through this. Thoughts, prayers, and hugs.

[jm1211]

So sorry! Sending you lots of hugs!

[ralphlauren]

I am so very sorry

[narockshard]

Oh I'm so, so sorry. T&P to your family.

[frannyr]

I'm sorry you are dealing with all this Nik. I hope DH's mom time is peaceful.

I promise you things will work out with your job and insurance. It's just so much to take right now with what's going on and this time of year and everything.

Also, your state may let you file for unemployment even if you leave. It depends on the state but my DH was able to get it even after leaving a job.

Good luck with everything and calm thoughts and deep breaths. Things have a way of working out.

[lostarz]

I'm so sorry you're going through all of this right now. Sending lots of good thoughts your way!
