[quote=Anonymous]It’s been constant for over three years now and I’ve about had it. None of the huge stressors are positive and none are mine personally. From stubborn elderly parents (one is gone now) with money issues, sibling who is living with last elderly parent and is a burden not a help and messages me almost daily with evil comments (if I cut her off, she will attack my older kids and husband and will cut access to my mother), brother who was a drug addict (recovered now but it was hell when it was going on), relative who I helped hospice after visiting my mother in same town due to a heart attack/stroke and was a traumatizing miserable experience because of her refusal to go to hospital when she was completely paralyzed (phobia) and helpless and they had to listen to her desires. She, of course, was also broke, and my mother spent her recovery jealous of me being with her sister so often, adding to the misery. And when I DID leave when the hospice took her inpatient, the social worker called me daily screaming that I needed to return to take her home. I was now cross-country.   Now normally healthy spouse developed blood clots and two close friends who are like family developed cancer at the same time, etc. There is never any break to recover from each experience so I live in a constant state of trauma and fear. Often these instances overlap each other. I’ve never experienced anything like this before and keep telling myself, OK, things will improve and they just don’t.

I’d like to say “well that’s life” but it isn’t life when it’s constant and unrelenting. I thought 2024 was going to start turning things but nope. For the past month and a half, more and more issues keep happening and I’m just tired. So tired.

I guess this is a vent of sorts.
