7th Place of employment and feeling really angry and defeated and life with family is hard

I've recently been let go at my 7th workplace, this time I was let go because they said there isn't enough work despite the company being the 2nd largest and busiest plumbing company in the state. I feel like i was unfairly dismissed with no warnings or verbal information of anything I've done wrong. This is my 7th place and I'm feeling why is this constantly happening. I'm actually a genuine nice person and hard working and not there to cause any issues but I feel like I've made enemies and all, legit haven't done anything wrong. I'm currently serving out my notice period of 1 week and feels so awkward and trapped. With Christmas being around the corner I'm worried about not being able to get another job. I feel like I need answers and closure to why this keeps happening but every time I reach out its always a it'll be fine but this keeps happening where I go from a company ask millions of questions to make sure it's suited for me long term and get screwed around and it's really playing an affect my mood and purpose of living. Also both my kids have been diagnosed with health issues, one has moderate hearing loss and specialist and doctors can't figure out where and how and the other child has severe allergies to wheat, eggs and peanuts. I'm feeling like why is life constantly throwing me curve balls like this and everytime I'm needing this to stop it keeps coming back worse. What should I do? I'm feeling like I'm letting down my family cause of this work issue constantly happening

Sometimes it can boost self esteem by backing yourself to be your own boss.
Talk to your accountant about setting up a company/registration and discover where your talents truly belong.
It sounds like your only problem is confusing 'work' with 'work culture'.

Life has a tendency to make us do better because of adversity.

Dear Pyrolee,

 

 I am sorry you are experiencing such a hard period of time.

 I can empathise with you about finding work and especially around Christmas. Perhaps you could apply for Christmas casual work to get you over the period.

You sound quite overwhelmed and I can see why after 7 positions.

Your love for your family shines through.

Everything you have faced has made you stronger.

Know you are strong.

Wishing you the best,
