Help me decide what to do please?

My husband of 24 yrs lost his job almost 2 years ago. He has managed to land 2 jobs, lasting 6 weeks a piece in that interim. I work full time and take care of most everything. I do this because I love him and yes, I realize I am an enabler. However, we were to have some work done to our attic and I had to work that day, he knew I had asked contractor not to do insulation spoke with contractor week prior, even called contractor nite before and asked for corrected estimate and to make sure we were on same page. My husband was working nites during that brief period and I had asked him to please make sure contractor was to do only what was authorized. He lets him in and doesn't go over the list, goes to sleep and contractor blows insulation in, destroying all contents in attic. Contractor and I in legal dispute and my husband doesn't see that any of this was his fault. Btw, contractor charges me $3500 for that unauthorized service! Now I have atty's fee's and a contempt of this is the last straw for my husband. (I will now have to take the $3500, which I had saved working my 2nd job and was supposed to give to my youngest as she is going to pre med in the fall.) (She has 4.0GPA and works p/t, she is a great kid, so deserves this chance.) It took me a year of working nites along with my day job to save that money. He sees nothing wrong with that and I asked for a promise that if I had to give that money to contractor, would he please do the best he could to hold a job and help me start saving for our daughter. I was told well I dont know, i'll try. Who knows what will happen by that time, etc. You can always find another second job.. I cannot look at him. I apply for jobs for him, cook, clean, work full time, pay bills. I am tired to the point I cant even put make up on anymore. I'm emotionally drained to the point of I ponder divorce often. Help me, just tell me something please, i'm in a bad place emotionally...
