I'm going to complain / vent a bit.
This past year has been the worst year of my life by far, which isn't that bad, I guess it just shows how lucky I have been to have had a really great life so far.
But it has still been tough for me since everything is relative. Since November :
-Kids have had lice 3 times, 3!!! Never had it before, school keeps having outbreaks. Each time that's a week of cleaning and tons of money for laundry and the lice treatment
-My wife and I have tried to go on 3 trips, all cancelled. November cancelled due to lice, January (Costa Rica) cancelled due to covid, April (Mexico) cancelled due to my new health issues since I'm not allowed to drive or fly, finances are already tight so losing some $ on those sucks.
-Whole family had covid twice, ruining holidays and our trip
-My anti vax side of the family cut us and everyone else off which means we don't get to see my mom anymore
-I most likely started having TIAs 5 weeks ago, so constant tests and figuring that out, but it looks like blood thinners for life
-Past 3 weeks, one kid had strep, turned into scarlet fever, 2 kids had stomach virus (separate occasions), one had influenza, and now today my wife wakes up with the stomach virus
-For many reasons, in my 20 years of working so far, it has never been this discouraging for me
It has just been a never ending shit storm and every time my wife and I try to get away for a break, something goes wrong.
Me not being able to drive means my wife has to do everything, bless her :( Hopefully that changes soon.
Anyways I don't have anywhere to vent but here, so this is a bit therapeutic for me.
This place is a daily positive for me so thank you everyone.

1 awwsThank you, it may sound silly but this place and the people here like you have taught me over time how to be less toxic and less negative, and more accepting
Nowhere else on the internet has ever done anything positive like that for me
I don't have friends in real life so this place probably impacts me more than it would for most people
