So sorry to hear your troubles Kristen. Have you thought about going back to school to upgrade your training or start your own business? It seems you enjoy website design and photography. Does your country offer assistance for home based business? Or how about going to a career counsellor to see what options you may have?

I can imagine how hard this must be because you are the sole provider. There's always something better waiting for you...you just have to find an alternative path to get there. Remember, positive thoughts bring positive actions.

I quit my job because of a very harsh work environment. Right now I'm working part-time until something better comes along and also I'm thinking of going back to school. Who knows, I may even start a side business since I've had some offers recently.
