Feeling like you're in control of something -- anything -- helps when life is tough. What you've said: the small victories count. The not-so-small victories count, too. Saving you and your children from destruction is a pretty sizable victory.
It would probably help not only to get the linkages adjusted, but to find other things you could do that give you a sense of well-being and accomplishment. It doesn't have to be a 'save the day' sort of thing or firefighting at work. It can be building something or making a change for the better. Any of a number of things.
