I m tired of being the quot breadwinner quot

I'm 27 (f), have been married for 2 years to 27 (m), and we have a beautiful daughter together. We're currently living with my parents as we're still saving up to find our own home.

Late last year, my ex boss (45, m) asked me to join back the company as he needed my help with (insert job here). For context, I worked there for almost 2 years and left with a very sour taste in my mouth. I don't know what has gotten into me and I accepted the job offer.

Fast forward, 6 months later, I got retrenched with the excuse of "cutting cost". Yup, he's dirty af. He gave me 2 months "notice". He made me quit my "good" job to come back to this shithole only to retrench me. lol.

Now I'm stressed. Because I pay for so much in this house that I can't even afford being unemployed for even a month. I earn significantly more than my husband, and I pay 70% of the things at home, monthly house mortgage included.

Being retrenched by my shitty boss has made me so anxious to get a new job asap. No one in this house understands the pressure I feel to get a job, as well as how much I hate my boss so much that I cry when I have to come in to work because I don't want to see his face for the next 2 months.

Sometimes I feel that it's so unfair that the financial burden lies on me. I hate going to work because I want to be with my daughter. But times are tough. I just wish everyone can understand and empathise with me. I'm really really stressed.
