I've been in a similar spot before A long ways but it didn't involve the two of us both losing jobs which complicates things even more and especially now during the recession. My case with therapy is similar too because I can't afford that and to pay the mortgage and car insurance, food, and everything for myself, wife, and son.

The one thing is though and I know it's going to sound harsh and I really don't mean for it to, is that if she left you because of the reason you gave then you're really better off without her. Real love and partnership means through thick and thin (as long as both people respect each other and doesn't apply to relationships where one person is abusing the other obviously). I think most (at least Christian)wedding vows still say for better or for worse, for richer or poorer, in sickness and in health (I'm Buddhist and my wife is Hindu so we didn't have those per se but it was similar).

Anyway the important thing now is to take care of yourself. You're only responsible for what YOU do and not someone else. Rohag is right in trying to break it into pieces and tackle each by itself.

I hope you can find some peace and get the issues straightened out.
