My eldest son has been unemployed since

last May. He's just hanging on by a thread. He and his wife are getting a divorce now partly because of it (she's money hungry) and there are no jobs in this area for him.

He tried to get into a retraining program but he doesn't qualify. Why? Don't ask me. Can't understand it.
