Mr.right85: I'm so very sorry for all you're going through. I can definitely relate on all counts.

First thing you need to understand: it's not that companies care more for profit than they care for their workers. They don't care for their workers at all. We're at a point in time that workers (even qualified ones) are just meat, that's it.

The best advise I can give you (which is what I'm doing now): start dreaming. It doesn't matter what you dream about. Dreaming about a better future will give you the drive you feel you're lacking now. And learn. Learn here, read books, get courses online, anything that rocks your boat. Tough times lay ahead, it's always hard to get back from a difficult time. But if you're consistent and smart, anything can be achieved. Just (like I always say) KEEP AT IT!
