When Will This End????

So yet another rejection from the job that R had a freaking 25% change of getting. It was between him and three others and needless to say he didn't make the cut. They called and told him that they hired someone and it wasn't him. So much for being "perfect" for the job and having all the right credentials and experience. Why the hell do they even say that shit and get our hopes up, don't they know we eat that up and get excited for what may be the break we are praying for? This was pretty much the last straw. R officially had a nervous breakdown last night. I had to cancel my subbing job for today because I was pretty sure he was not able to take care of the kids today. We're still without a vehicle because ours is in the shop getting a new starter so I had to call the neighbor again to take Little man to school.

I called R's sister to get his parent's number last night because I didn't know what to do. He had some drinks and then led to pretty much drowning his sorrows in alcohol and then the rest of the night was a mess. The cops ended up getting called by R because he felt he was out of control. They ended up leaving him here but just tried to diffuse the situation. He feels terrible today and very sorry, he just doesn't know what to do. I should have known something like this was going to happen eventually because rejection after rejection is pretty much going to beat a person down until they can't take it anymore.

R is taking Little man and going to his sister's house for the weekend to get away. I'm really hoping that she or her husband can talk to him and help him out. He says that talking to me doesn't help him much because we're all in the same situation, which I totally understand. I don't have much outside perspective because I'm going through the same thing. Hopefully, they can offer suggestions/help/support which will help him. I will be so grateful when our shitty situation is finally better. I'm so sick of this and would give my left arm for a way out of this!
