Quote From: debra1952

 My husband called me friday to tell me he had handed in his resignation from a job that pays $45000/yr.  I am retired and get a pension of $24000/yr.  We have a new house and he has a car pymt of close to $500/m.   I just got a flexible on call job, up to 20 hrs/wk.   He goes to college part time.   we can not make ends meet now! He is taking an attitude with me, he is angry that I am worried. Go figure. We have been married for almost 14 yrs.  I really wonder if this  happened to force me to leave him. We fight alot, he is bi-polar and just switched meds. Debra

Be very careful.  He may be doing some other job to bring in money.  Switching meds could have done it also.  It seems that anything can set him off.  Take care of yourself.  Keep this site posted and have phone #'s ready in case.

From what I understand about bi-polar - your mood swings, and then there's anger.  Why your husband quit his job only he knows - and he might not really know.  First of all sit down and think.  Did you call your husbands company and find out what happened - if not do it.  Analyze your situation.   

  

Is he going to come out of it and get his job back, can he, or is that it.  You might have to be carrying the load for awhile.  Is the car in both your names or only his?  What about the house?  You said he has a car pymt, if you have your car and he has this for himself in only his name - my advice is to not pay it.  Get the phone #'s for food stamps/aid ready just in case - And contact all of the people/companies that the two of you owe - contact elec, phone, water, heat, etc. immediately.
