[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is anyone else spiraling? I’m a fed and my job seems up in the air which makes it incredibly hard to do my job right now. I debate just quitting and becoming a sahm but it seems like such a huge jump. Nothing seems to really have purpose and I’m always tired (mostly because I start work at 6am). No vacations planned due to finances. Lost 70k last week in the stock market (not even part of my 401k, which was likely much much worse). It’s really hard to plan for the future because I don’t know what it looks like (like summer camps for kids or vacations).

Dh and I now argue because he likes Trump, which is probably the worst thing that’s happened currently in my life. We had an incredible marriage and now there’s this awful orange stain on it.

Everything seems like it’s up in the air. I really thought we had a good life before this mess. And before you all come at me, I’m a moderate. I haven’t felt well represented in politics for years. [/quote]

I can relate to all this, except DH (an immigrant who is a US citizen) also dislikes the orange stain and has lost his job too.  My mother is a Trump supporter, sees us suffering and stressed out and says 'I'm so sorry.  I'm thinking of you.'  But she wasn't thinking of us during the election and supports this administration and it's policies.  When I tell her how this impacts us she follows up with some BS she heard on Fox.  We cannot afford our mortgage and are going to have to move and pull the kids from school, yet she doesn't care other than go throw pity at us.  Pity doesn't pay my mortgage, it doesn't keep my kids in their school, and it doesn't help us to provide a stable environment for them to grow up in at critical milestones.  My daughter will be changing schools right before junior year - this will impact her forever.  I've drastically reduced my conversations with my mom and I won't be visiting on Easter. I can't afford the flights.[/quote]
