my ex lost his job, and my maintenance has been slashed. i'll be fine, but i wont be able to keep investing in my farm.
he knew for almost 2 years that his job would be ending. he prolly would have liked to retire. his new wife just retired. he is 58, and would probably be okay.

he did get another job, tho he didnt stick it out for the severance they promised him. they screwed a few others out of theirs by offering them a new contract.
so, he got another job at less than half pay.

it has been really hard to sit on the outside, waiting to see what is gonna happen.

i have been in a slump for a while, and i sorta blame all this.
