Hey LeftCoast, But at this point, there seems to be nothing we can do but get on with our own lives. The unknown can be scary but it doesn't have to be.
I keep telling myself this!

You can achieve your goals of establishing roots and having a family, it was one of my goals as well and i was blessed with not only 1 son, but 2. If that is something you want, then you can do anything you put your mind to.
Lord, I hope you're right.

I hear you about the great recession, it seems to be one of the factors in my sitch as well. I was in a management position with my youngest son being only a couple months old when they let everyone on our office go with a measly severance package. Luckily (or unluckily) for me, i had worked my way up through our shop into management so i at least got the option to go back into the shop to work and at the time with my son being so young, i thought it was my only option. It was right about that time that W says she started becoming unhappy. Everything sort of snowballed from there.
God that sounds familiar. Here's what's happened to me: Went back to school and graduated in a public administration degree in 2007. Met the wife a few months later, was working for a city. Was the last hire, so when the city slashed the budget, I was the first to go. By this point we were engaged. Took a job--any job--to pay the bills. Hated it, but was making decent money. Then my hours get cut 20%. Expenses rise (her car died, then mine). The job market in this town is terrible and I couldn't move because my dad was in failing health and none of my siblings were around to help. ...You know the rest.

Anyway, when the time is right for you, having roots and a family is a goal worth achieving. Check out my thread about the grand canyon. Does a cold one sound good right about now? Or a soda or lemonade perhaps?!!
Make it a rye or an old-fashioned, and I'm there.

I really appreciate that. I'll be in your thread as well.
