I still remember the night my husband slammed his laptop shut and told me he’d been laid off, and everything we’d built started cracking right in front of me. What made it worse was the money we still owed his mother for the down payment on our house, because suddenly every family dinner turned into a fight about debt, pride, and boundaries. Moving into my parents’ basement felt like rock bottom, but our church community and one unexpected act of grace gave us just enough room to breathe and start over.
