My husband & i have moved back to my hometown, interstate, leaving my 2 kids with their dad. I am working, but my husband is really struggling to start up his own business & there is no work around in his field in the town we are now living in.
We are struggling financially and going backwards in a big way. My pay doesn't even nearly cover our bills & expenses.I cant work extra hours & ive already been applying for higher paying jobs with no luck yet. Im trying to keep the bank at bay, but I cant pay bills with money I dont have. I dont want to lose our house (which we currently have tenants in, with a mortgage to pay off, but the rent dosnt cover the house repaymants, plus credit cards, rates etc. Its never ending.)
Im so scared and dont know what to do. There is no way we can afford to move again and I miss my kids more than I ever thought i would. I cant even afford to pay child support to the kids dad, which upsets me greatly as my ex always paid without a worry & on time, every time.
I am so worried that we have made a huge mistake. My husband has left his family & a great job, to keep me happy by moving from a town I hated to my home town.
I guess Im just after advice on what to do next? What would you do??
regretting move interstate & broke :(

Could you try financial counselling? Lots of places offer it as a free service.
I'm so sorry that you're going through this.
Yep would definitely speak to a financial counsellor. Also if hubby can work back where you both used to lve I'd consider him going back there to couch surf with friends for awhile to work then you follow when things are more stable financially.
Go back to your kids thats the only thing I will say. Do you think they don't miss you. Don't be selfish your kids happiness comes before your own. They need their mum.
