The job situation
Hi again and thanks for your support. Anvilhead, he gave up his job (co-director of own company) before he had an issue - at least that I knew of - and partly at my behest. The business was going downhill fast and he was heading for a nervous breakdown. He'd never been to university, and I had, so I thought it only fair he have the same opportunities I've had. I had no idea it would be so hard for him to find part-time work while he was studying, and then when he did have a good part-time job, the work ran out (they are looking to lay off even full time staff). If I'd known about the drinking I don't think I'd have encouraged him to go back to study - way too much free time. He's currently applying for government assistance to find work. As I said before, I don't really know how hard he is trying, but I do know he has tried. He's studying electronic engineering.
