And we all (the children included) came out the other side as victors.Ī couple of months into my new job I found a sheet of paper Blu-tacked to a cleaning cupboard (despite having been in my present employment for four months now, I still come upon 'surprises' every now and then) that contained the words below. That strong infrastructure that my wife and I have built over the years propelled us to overcome what can be a very testing period for any couple. That was what enabled me to get my current job.

And throughout my whole ordeal a series of words kept popping up like a Jack-in-the-box: family, values, self-confidence, respect, trust, optimism. I finally landed a job at the end of July, just in time to go camping with my family as we usually do every summer. I realised then that I was probably on the edge of a nervous breakdown. Two tears streaked down my cheeks whilst I was reading the paper. One day, on my way to yet another interview, I began to sob quietly and calmly on the tube.
My wife helped me out with application forms and as a result I had countless job interviews. However, even as I was staring down the abyss, my family stood by me. I tried to remain strong, but even I could not fool myself: inside I was breaking slowly. Anger became angst, hope traded colours with despair. What happened thereafter can only be described as a maelstrom of feelings and emotions. Although I had been given a month's notice it was not until I started gathering my personal belongings that it suddenly dawned on me that I was going, going from the place where I had worked for five years, going from the comfort of a permanent job, paid holidays and sick time.

It had been so for some time up until then but there was no reason to suspect that we would lose our jobs. We were all looking forward to this well-deserved break.Īs the months passed by my company's financial situation became worrying. I was still working in the arts and my family and I had a holiday planned for Malaysia around Easter time we were going to visit one of my brothers-in-law who had made that Asian country his permanent residence.
