[quote=Anonymous]Your husband lost his job because he failed to do the required paperwork. That’s like failing to brush his teeth. The paperwork is also his work product, it’s how he proves to the church that he’s worth the money they are paying him. He knew your oldest child has special needs and is doing well here. He also knew you just bought a house, and are pregnant. I say he royally screwed the family. Life throws enough curves at everybody that you don’t need to bring trouble into your home…. Which is exactly what your husband did. At this point, he doesn’t deserve special treatment. If the church had down-sized, then he would get what he’s asking for from you, but not now, not when he is directly responsible for the job loss. The cynic in me says he did this on purpose because now he no longer has a job, and can be taken care of in a way he couldn’t have been before. The focus can now be on him instead of on anything else. I’d make sure he knows this and that he takes steps to correct it for future employment. I’d also seek out any support you need. Don’t trash him, but also don’t hesitate to obtain support from wherever and whomever you need. Know that your older child will be fine, though if you move, it may take him longer to integrate into the new group. You and your husband need to be aware of this, so that your husband can learn better work strategies in the future.   [/quote]
