Up in the air

[Wasteofspace000]

DH has been made redundant. My career and training have been on hold as I stupidly opted out to be a SAHM. Abroad, lonely, isolated and fearful for the future, any advice on how to get on the straight and narrow?

Sorry for your situation. It was similar for us (although we are in the UK) when DH was made redundant in 2014. Fortunately for us he got a reasonable redundancy package and I was able to increase my hours at work (I'm normally p/t) so we could cover the essential bills until he was in work again. I know how stressful it is as he was the main breadwinner, the uncertainty was awful!
I don't really have any advice as such, just to be kind to each other and support each other, check regarding any benefits or payouts you may be able to get (don't know where you are so don't know what options are available to you). Consider whether your DH will easily find work again, or could he get funding to retrain as something else? My DH got funded to do a course by the job centre when he was unemployed. Also, you mention putting your training and career on hold to be a SAHM, could this be an opportunity for you to go back into work or training and your DH to spend more time at home? I guess it all depends on your financial situation.
Good luck with whatever you decide to do, I know it's hard but you will get through it

Thanks for your support. Hoping for light at the end of the tunnel. Large dose of guilt about my lack of independence is not very useful but I cannot figure what to do next.
