hugs for you and your family. We went through something similar back in the 90s during the recessions. OH was made redundant from a good job when the company went bust. He found something fairly quick, but when that had to downsize he was the last in so first out. Same with the next job he got. In the end, he decided to become a postman, his thinking being that if he's being the jinx on these companies, then at least he can't do the same to Royal Mail. Since then, it's all been redundancies, stopping over-time pay, opening up of competition, etc. So you see, my OH can even make a humungus national company struggle.
Something will turn up for you both. Remember, light travels in straight lines, so while it may seem all dark and depressing right now, when you get around the next corner there'll be a lovely bright future for you.
