Ugh it's just been a crappy year....
Sorry this is long...just need to let it out. ![]()
Seems like after Brett & I got married, things were going down the tubes. Not for us personally of course. We're both doing well, got a house, all that stuff.
But first my mom is diagnosed with breast cancer. Luckily, she's finishing up with radiation and should be fine. Next, my ILs were on the outs and almost got divorced. My niece has always had health problems and needed eye surgery, and may also have a syndrome (related to a chromosome that we still have to figure out where it comes from in our family) that might be contributing to her developmental troubles, and then my BIL has a huge relapse with his multiple sclerosis.![]()
I just got so depressed talking to my FIL today...to hear what he has to see when he visits his son. DH and I are up in NJ so we haven't been able to go down to SC to visit, but his Dad says we may not want to see how he is. He doesn't even recognize you sometimes, and he needs help with everything...being fed, etc....
I feel guilty that we have a big trip planned for our anniversary. I feel like we should be seeing his family instead. We booked it before BIL ended up in the hospital.
It was also hard the first few months after we married- that's when mom was diagnosed, and it was hitting me that I wasn't on LI anymore and couldn't drop by whenever I wanted. And his family is in SC....
We need something good to happen already! I know that things could be worse...but wow, when it rains, it pours.
I just needed to let it out a bit. And I don't really want to harp on it with FH because I know it is getting to him, even if he doesn't really show it. Thanks for listening.![]()
