My horrible year.

[Queen_Of_Hearts]

I wasn't sure where to post this. It's about family, it's about friends, it's about marriages, it's about coping. It's says everything goes here so I'm hoping this is right.

 

Tomorrow marks 12 months since my Mom died. I feel like my whole life has fallen apart since then. Nothing has gone right.

 

Mom died after being hit by a drunk driver. Dad committed suicide two months later because he just couldn’t handle it all. If that wasn’t bad enough my sister got a cancer diagnosis at the same time and had to have a leg removed. I had a lot of time off work dealing with all this so I lost my job. There was difficulties with settling my parents estate so we saw no money for a long time. In the meantime we had to sell our house, partly because I wasn’t working and partly to help fund my sister’s treatment. Then her husband left her because he couldn’t deal with it the weak bastard. I only got through all this because of my husband by my side. And then I find out he’s cheating… with a neighbor. Apparently I hadn’t been there for him!!!!!!! My best friend of years supports me through all this but then for some reason thinks it’s an appropriate time to tell me she’s in love with me and makes a move. I am not gay and even if I was she is married.

 

The Queen once said her year was “annus horribilis”. I think my year tops hers.

 

I lost my Mom, my Dad, my career, my Home, my husband, my dignity and my best friend. And my sister lost her husband and is very much 50/50 whether she will live beyond 2 years.

 

But you know what? Once I get the divorce finalized I can look forward. I can make the future a brighter one. I wouldn’t make it through another one of these years.

 

I don’t have any questions, I hope that’s still ok? I just wanted to share because it’s rather cathartic. A problem shared is a problem halved and all that.

 

I wish you all well.
