I need some perspective... (long story)

I also teach, and my hours have been severally reduced. Why I am bring this up, because I find that a lot employers today don't seem to care about what happens to there employees, or to the families that are attached to that person. My wife lost her job after 11 1/2 years, all because the new boss wanted his own person to do her job, rude to say the least. I also feel that if your wife loses her job, she needs to look at what she has accomplished and add it to her resume. Starting over is always a major stresser, my wife for example has taken this time of being unemployed and is trying to get her own business off the ground, not saying your wife should do the same, but what I am saying is if she is a teacher she will have a valued skill set, and maybe she could start her own business. Your wife could start a tutoring business, god knows our children could use a place they can go and find a caring person who understands and can help them with their academics. Also if she finds herself unemployed take advantage of unemployment, the time your wife is on i,t is a good time to look at herself and prepare herself for a new beginning. It sounds like you are a very good husband, you came here and asked for advice about something that is a big impact on both of your lives, most people don't ask or just plain assume that everything will be ok. Your being proactive and that is the best you can do at this time. I wish you and your wife the best, if there is anything we can do, let us know......
