We are family of 3 (brand new child under 1yr old). Husbands business has failed, and we live in area of extremely high unemployment. Tied down to big mortgage(worth more than we could sell our house for right now-bad market). Husband has seasonal/winter job paying min. wage (now $6.95 in our state) for about 25 hrs/wk. I have pretty well paying job with great benefits for our family, grateful for that much. I suppported him thru college for 3yrs and also for the last 3 yrs (6 yrs total). Tired of being primary/only bread winner, want to have it be equal 50/50, or have him support me for a while so I can go back to college and earn more $ for us. Starting to get anxious/overwhelmed being main provider. Not quite enough $ for bills now, all the "fat" has been trimmed(only spent $78 grocery last month). Need advice to deal with issue. Very anxious, tired, overwhelmed, panicked.
