Well, the title pretty much says it all. What a year it's been for all I know, and I am getting worn down holding it together. Here goes the list:
Husband, lost job, got new job in Alaska, but new employer will pay zero for relocation funds, so the family is separated for a least another year until we can sell the house, sell the household goods, and save money for the move. Add 2 unhappy-about-moving teens to that!
My freeloader sister wants to move in with me; I say NO. She blames me for her health problems. Cut off contact with her.
My oldest son (21) finds out his fiance is pregnant by another man; he breaks it off with her; sinks into a deep depression; he is getting better; then he fractures his ankle badly in a motorcycle accident; and now is even more depressed. At least he's working though and moved back in so I can monitor his foot/emotions.
Now mother-in-law is hysterical. Found out my bum of a BIL and SIL have literally stolen thousands of dollars from my MIL. Long, long story. We all saw it coming, but MIL would not listen. It's worse than I thought. Her IRA/savings everything is gone. She only has her SSN. She is 75. Imagine having to press charges against your own daughter for embezzlement. I called my huband in Alaska, but he basically wants to just wash his hands of the whole thing. Last April, we bailed out his mother and save her house from foreclosure because my a**hole relatives were taking MIL's money and not paying the bills. So now, my husband says, Not one more dime to anybody. His mother will be on the street. But GUESS who will probably end up taking of her???? Yep. Me. Her son's in Alaska, her daughter is a crook, and I'm the one who feels the burden. My MIL is really a sweet lady who absolutely refused to believe that her own family was stealing her money.
So anyway...I feel very burdened right now. Since husband is gone, I have no friends or relatives really to turn to for support for myself other than my kids, and I hate to complain to them. There are good things..health is good, my MT work is steady, husband's job in Alaska is good. But I feel that I am the one holding it all together with little to prop me up lately than some really strong cups of coffee. So, had to turn to internet strangers for a pity party. Thanks for listening.
