Nothing like some time in the garage to get your head straight.

Like Ronin said, something goes a little nutty in a man's head when his ability to support his family is at risk. For me at least, it's a big self worth issue. But as I think you're finding, you make the cuts where you need to and make things work. Stay strong and cling to that family, they're the best thing in your life and nobody can take that away from you.
