-I didn't look for work for about a month after I lost my job. Looking back I think I was depressed (not sure, never have been before). I was rather irresponsible off and on throughout our marriage. I had completely unrealistic plans. There are many other issues as well. -I say let me stay because I won't fight to take my kids and home from her. I love them and I believe her to be a better parent than I. -She said she was done trying.
My suggestions: 1. Work your butt off to find a job. 2. Work your butt off to be the better parent.
These are two things that she will be sure to notice. Plus you should be doing them anyway.
