Bless your heart! I'm so sorry this is happening.

This probably sounds like a stupid question to you, but is it the economy that has hit your company so hard? Some companies are thriving, while others are struggling like yours, so that's why I ask. You CANNOT help it if it's due to this darned economy, and if they cannot see that, then they're IDIOTS. Doesn't your family know anything about economics and the business industry? Don't they pay any attention to your business? Why are they blaming YOU?? Do they think YOU have power over the economy?

DON'T let them walk all over you! REFUSE to take all the blame! It doesn't belong to you any more than it does to them! If they want to blame you for it, turn the tables on them, and BLAME THEM RIGHT BACK! I'm just kidding of course, but it makes as much sense!

Don't blame yourself for something you can't control. You can't control the economy any more than you can the weather. I know you took an awful "hit" and your family is NOT being supportive. That really stinks.

Perhaps you and your family should go to family counseling -- that would be the best solution to this problem -- it would get the family back together where all of you could better decide on what to do, and then do it TOGETHER.

I wish you the very best. God bless and Please take care. Hugs, Lee
