sorry to hear it but that's why smart contractors NEVER want to put laminate or other wood flooring in kitchens unless the customer insists on it because water spills happen weather from the sinks or refrigerators or if you just drop the soup or gumbo pot, treat it like a bathroom and put a waterproof floor in there like vinyl or tile.
I would caution against that cushy foam vinyl flooring because it will tear easy due to the cushy foam aspect.
