Again, thanks for your support! I took this week off because I really need a break, and I try to relax a bit, even though it's hard to ignore all the worries and doubts.

catfamily, actually I don't have anyone to support me, at least not financially, or in helping me to find a new job. So I'm playing the lottery every week and hope for a miracle.

I think migrating to another country would be difficult, even though many Germans consider to do so these days. The job situation is really bad here now. It's a bit better in the south of Germany, and I may have to get used to the thought to move there. My sister is already living there, and two friends of mine (in the area of Stuttgart/Black Forest). But it would be a tough decision.

momcat, I'm happy for you that things turned out so well for you in the end.

Kirsten
