Open Question: Would you accept help or not?

My husband and I have been having financial difficulty. It's nothing new, except this time we may lose our home. Due to the rising prices of food, gas, etc we have been having a difficult time paying our mortgage (thanks Bush). We have been often paying it a few weeks late. Now we are over a month behind for the first time. My husband just does not make enough money. He has been looking for another job for literally a year. No one has even called back. He has 10 years experience in his field and has a solid resume. I am disabled so working for me is out of the question(besides there are NO jobs where I live, no one is hiring) I have spoken to my parents about the situation. I don't want their help because I feel that we are 30 years old and they have bailed us out financially too many times already. They can afford it and have (reluctantly) offered to help us but I have told them no. Basically we plan to rent a house and let this house go into foreclosure. I don't want help from my parents because they not only throw it back in our faces when they have helped us but I feel like we are mooching off of them. Would you accept the help they're offering or just let the house go into foreclosure? The reason I say it would go into foreclosure is that there is no way it would sell in this market. We bought 2 1/2 years ago when the market was the opposite of what it is now. We couldn't sell the house for what we owe on it. This situation has stressed me out to the point where I have tried to commit suicide and am considering it again. no we don't drink or smoke. we just have lots of bills.
