Unhappy Am I in the wrong here?

I have a bit of a issue. I have been on the hunt for the last year to find a job. Any job will do at this point, trust me I am not picky. I have put out 60 applications in this town and surrounding towns and about twenty in Texas. I have had three interviews and still nothing. I have redone my resume a couple of times and constantly try to improve my interviewing skills. I have never had issues getting jobs befor now. I have been taking it hard. Very hard to be honest and was recently hospitalized with a bad case of depression.

Now I have turned to my husband and asked him to find a better job. He is an intern at his college and works about 19 hours a week and makes about 117$ every two weeks. He does not feel that he needs to find a job. Mommy and daddy pay for all of his insurance, car, cell phone and whatever. We have been staying at his parents house for about 5 months and hubby is loving it. He can go out and play golf all day with his friends, stay out all night playing video games. Now his parents would like for me to start looking for a place to live. They know I have been looking diligantly for a job, but they feel their son is their resposibility but I need to take care of myself. I agree with this 100%, I am my own responsibility, but my husband needs to grow up. Now I am feeling angry with him for not being there for me. I asked if we could consider moving to another state for work, but he would not consider it. He says my money issues are my own issues to take care of.

Am I attacking my husband because of my own feeling about my situation or could he be a little more understanding? I just want for the both of us to have somewhat good jobs and a place of our own. Mom wants son to stay here where there are no jobs How do I deal with this?
