I met a guy with similar situation. He's in his mid 40s with kids. He had a serious enough injury he no longer could continue the career he was trained for. Within 3-4 years he dug a substantial financial hole. He and his wife decided that path was unacceptable, did a complete overhaul of their lifestyle, and after around 5-6 years but are debt free and doing well financially.
Don't give up.
