(37,648 posts)If it helps, I'm 58 years old, but I was able to find another job (at a decreased salary). So I have hopes for you, since it sounds like you are young.
I hope yu have somewhere to move to? I feel for your dad, also. How awful.
I don't know how young you are, but when I was young, I had problems like that, too, and got paid squat. Still, you have now seen (as I have seen) that it's important, as you get older, to build up an emergency savings account, so that you can support yourself for 6 months, if you have to. Everyone is at risk of losing his job, as we've all seen in the last few years.
Let us know what happens. DU people are incredibly supportive. I hope you land on your feet soon.
TIP: The economy is doing okay here in Dallas TX. There are jobs here, depending on what you do.
