F*ck T&P needed...

My dad lost his job last night. He worked for Sun so he was one of those that got the axe by Oracle.
Last night was bad...for me and Tony and then for Jonathan so I am already overtired kind of emotional..But I feel so awful.
My parents couldnt sell their home in Los Altos Hills so they rented it...they cover the mortgage...but not all the taxs. Then they bought the place in Gilroy.
They have my lil bro and sis (the ones from Russia). My sister is a senior and my brother a sophmore at St. Francis.
My Dad is well into his 60's. The age most people have retired so he really has no shot of getting a new job that comes close to what he used to get paid. He looked a long time 4-5 yrs ago for this job at Sun...
And then we live here (insert HUGE guilt).
They are looking into all their insurance options today and finding out who actually did the firing so they know if he gets any severance...vacation etc...If its Oracle he gets nothing.
This house is just a ball of tension and I feel like I am cracking...I will write another post maybe about my and Tonys fight to get thoughts...but it all seems so lame now that I so worried about our living situatuin and my parents...I am terrified we will have to short sale our place...
And today I cant control the crying so I am trying to keep JLK busy yelling for food in her playkitchen to keep he distracted...

Oh, Libby. I'm so sorry! That's a LOT of stuff you have on your shoulders. You know your family doesn't resent you living there, right?
I'll be thinking good thoughts for you and your whole family. BIG hugs!
#$%^. That sucks, Libby. I'm so, so sorry. I can't even imagine. How awful. I hope it works itself out... quick!
Sending you HUGE dust and thoughts and prayers and vibes!

Sh!t.

Big hugs Libby!!!!! it will be ok!
Thinking of you and your family. Sending lots of prayers and hugs that everything works out!

That IS a lot to have on your mind right now. Tons of T&P for you and your family. I really hope that your dad gets some type of severance.
Libby, if he has any vacation time accrued, that has to be paid out by law, regardless of who made the decision to terminate. I don't know if that helps any, but I wanted to let you know.
(((hugs)))
I'm so sorry! ((hugs)) I'll be thinking of your family.
Uggh...I am so so sorry, Lib. Last night Alex was telling me that some of his closest friends didn't get picked up and it in the middle of it, I remembered your dad worked there and shouted out "OMG, Libby's Dad". I fvcking hate this economy.
Sending lots of hugs, love, and thoughts to you and your whole family.
Let me know if there is anything i can do to help.
Oh Fvck! Tons of thoughts for your whole family. I hope that he gets some severance and a bit of extension on the family insurance coverage. If they don't do insurance coverage they really should look at Healthy Families, I know that will seem insane to your parents but if all they have is his unemployment it can be based off of current earnings so I would think your siblings would qualify, it might be a way better option than Cobra for the entire family. I know my COBRA as an individual was close to $600 so I'd be scared to see what it was like for family coverage.
Also, I don't mean this to sound harsh, but you may really want to re-think putting off calling your OB, all this extra stress is going to be rough.
