Interlude: 3 of 12
It's almost April... So far it has been one hell of a year. My wife was diagnosed with cancer. Then her brother died last month. My 16-year-old (step)daughter has been a total prick, doing and saying hurtful things over and over again. (I know that is what 16-year-olds are supposed to act like, but she has been taking it a bit far.) Meanwhile, my 20-year-old (step)daughter is pregnant. Huge (medical) bills keep coming in. On top (and probably because) of all these things, I've been suffering from crushing depression, which in turn is making it rather hard to do my job right.
Hopefully the turmoil will settle down once two abusive household members will leave (they are expected to do this soon, in April). If not, I am not looking forward to the rest of the year.
This post is not meant to inspire pity or concern in readers, but rather to provide an explanation for if and when I don't write so much. Real life tends to interfere a lot these days. :-(
