Oh no, Hmama! I also think you should use this as an opportunity. Get signed onto EI asap, if you qualify.
Perhaps you can ask for more child support/alimony from XH?
You are in my thoughts.

If you were still on your probationary period, I believe they don't have to really have a reason to let you go. However I do think that you can file for unemployment as long as you are applying for jobs. I hate this for you.

yes, I was still on probation. what most likely happened: we have one opening, and 5 qualified applicants, all of whom have significant research experience, while I had none. I was told it would take 6-8 months for me to catch on, and I've been here 3 1/2 months--but if they had several people who could essentially walk in and do the job tomorrow, of course they're going to hire them.
I'm a nurse--I can never file for unemployment because there are always jobs. they may not fit at all in a single mom's schedule, but they're out there.
and no, there's no severance. I might--MIGHT--have a week of benefit time.

I don't know how the whole "unemployment" thing works. I do know, like Hoozh says, that you have to show that you're actively looking and haven't found anything, but is there a way to collect short-term, saying you haven't found anything . . . "yet"????
