First off this situation is completely of my own making. I take responsibility. Just need to get it all out somewhere.
I'm married with two kids and live out in the country. Earlier this year I invested in a business venture that went belly up and we lost a lot of money. It was pure speculation and there is no recourse or way of recouping the money. We are now in debt because of me.
We are selling our home, going into rental and down sizing all bills to get everything back in line. Luckily we have equity in our house to do this. We've had to cancel projects and have pissed off a close family member whose business we were going to invest in.
My husband has been amazing and has said he would have been happy to have reaped the rewards had the business gone well so cant complain that it didnt work out.
I feel so shit and his support is actually making me feel worse. I've let everyone down and put our family at risk. We are not bankrupt but have come pretty close and its scared the shit out of me.
I need to be strong and confident to get us back to where we were but I'm just very wobbly at the moment. I'm on ADs which the doctor has had to increase the dose to get me less anxious.
Has anyone else been in a similar situation in terms of business ventures failing and having to sell house/move?
Just need to talk really. Feel so guilty
