She had two job prospects but both companies went into hiring freezes right after she interviewed. I made the mistake of posting something about dreading Monday on Facebook and she posted something like "Be glad you still have a job", which made me feel badly. I won't be complaining about work on FB anymore. In fact, I'm being more careful about complaining about work in general everywhere I go because it's such a sensitive topic.
Praying my ex keeps his job... I can't afford to pay him child support <sigh>.

I never appreciated the couple hundred a week I was making before. Now when I hear people bitch about "ugh I hate Mondays" and "ugh I hate meetings" I wana slap them and tell them "you could be me. you could have sat on your ass for 3 months feeling worthless". I ended up with a job making less than 1/4th of what I was making before.
Just keep being supportive. Make him feel special and like he isn't worthless.
