[quote=Anonymous]OP, I have been thinking about you and hope you are out of the grey area!

I did want to bring the perspective, just in case you need it to ask how you'd feel if it was your husband and not you who committed suicide.  I'm willing to bet that you wouldn't want him to do this for sake of your family finances and want your kids to grow up with their dad.  The money would not be worth putting your kids through it and I'm guessing you'd be resentful of him deciding this.

Also, there has to be something good that came from your education.  Maybe it's where you met your husband, your best friend, got to try a new city.  Something at the time made you think it was the right choice to make.

Personally, we have debt and I hate it.  We moved here and I ended up not finding a job for over a year. I was offered a job that I knew I would hate and it was not the right job for me but I turned it down not realizing how long it would take me to find the right job.  I always wonder what life/debt would be if I took that job but because I didn't I got my dream job.  I made great friends that are now like family and if I took that crappy job, the chances of me finding that job are not likely.

Also, it took me a long time to accept anything from my parents because I always thought it was their money that they worked hard for and they have their own things.  It wasn't until having my own kids that I realized how much joy to help your kids.  It's one thing to get a helping hand from your parents, it's a different to feel entitled, demand the help which it doesn't seem like you are doing.  Let them help you get through the rough patch.  You can always think of them helping your grandkids.

Things will get better! Enjoy your kids, do something fun and create memories that they will think back to how amazing you are![/quote]
