hi all

I had 2 internet businesses going well, but got banned from working in the field that relates to these businesses (for reasons I dont agree with), and this has effectively destroyed the businesses and any chance of me continuing to work in the field I was trained in and good at doing.
This all happened about 12 months ago, I while I managed to salvage something from the wreck and sell the businesses, but have yet to find work, and its putting a big strain on my family and finances.
I feel very angry and annoyed that i received such a harsh ban, for what was a fairly minor indiscretion (others in the industry are shocked I got a life ban), and am trying to apply for jobs but deep down inside miss running my own business which I worked so hard to build up only to have it ripped away from me....
I have a house with some equity in it and in order to keep this I will need to work in a job I probably dont particularly want to do, and its just all very bloody frustrating....
Im starting to think about selling the house, but I have to consider my wife and young 2.5 year old child. I really feel this is an unfair situation.
I could also try and appeal the decision but this will cost money in legal fees and there is no guarantee it will change anything anyway...
I really dont know what to do....any suggestions please....???
