Last week was a hit that effected parts of our family. My cousin is living with her fiance and she is expecting a baby. She is working two jobs to help pay bills and save up for the baby, but last week her fiance got layed off. Then my other cousin and her fiance were suppose to be getting married in march and they both lost their jobs last week as well. Everyone is worried on how they will get by. This is hard enough times as it is now they are going to look to us other family members for help. I don't mind helping but i can only do so much myself. My brother in law is still looking for a job and my fiance is still job hunting as well. Our family is struggling so much. It is emotional to deal with. I just know i need to hold on to my job as much as i can so i know my son will be taken care of. I just needed a place to vent. Thanks for reading.

This is so horrible. I am very thankful our family has not felt this recession and that me and my husband still hold our jobs. I will be praying for you and your family. If you look to God for all the answers you will make it through though. Just trust in him and things will be okay. Good Luck!

Thanks. I have been trying to even earn extra money just to know i am not going to be affected in any way. I just got a babysitting job.
