Hey Jeese, it all comes down to this, I am lucky to have a job with out a doubt. It is easier to find a job when you have one. When you are 55 years old and was a VP of a major plastics plant and then a owner of a separate plant that went south and then have to do a BK and work in the oilfield and be gone for months at a time working and missing my daughter grow up and miss her school functions playing violin, 6 string, 12 sting guitar, piano, speaking 2 languages, 4.0 in high school, missing her graduation, having a wife that has two (2) degrees that teaches interventionist kids, missing holidays, missing family. When I was laid off before I got this job my wife and I became foster parents for a child. We do not get any compensation and hope to maybe get this little bugger.
Happiness in one that beholds, missing out on family and love ones is something I will never get back. I wish you the best for you and your family my friend.
