everything seems to be falling apart
I am trying so hard to put the pieces of my life back together. I know this distruction was a slowly creeping process and it will not be fixed overnight, but darn it is so bad. I guess my eyes are just finally seeing how messed up it all is. I am still waiting to hear about my full time job. My marriage is in such bad shambles that I do not know if I even want to stay in it. My lil girl who I have tried to shelter is becoming aware of her siblings addiction issues and it is getting harder to keep it all under the rug. I try not to talk about things too much because "normal" people do not want to hear a person be a drag all of the time. I am not happy at all. I see other kids my AD age who are marrying, finishing college, getting their first apartments, etc and I have to be greatful for her just breathing another day How bad I want her to live, really live. I try to enjoy things and I find that when I get a glimpse of joy it is so fleeting. My and Hubbies finances are horrible because of all that was taken from us we are in forclosure. I do not want my house to be taken from us. I am so tired of lifes struggles. I get so angry sometimes when I see everyone else happily going through life. Yes I know everyone has something bad going on but with us it is pouring in all directions. It is all just crumbling in around me. My husband has been a miserable thing from years back and yea I can say he is going through a lot too but he has so many excuses to not try and be a part of what is left of the family. I am just hoping to hear about a job, get me out of the house, catch up on bills, and have something to put aside for myself just in case I want to divorce. I am toooo old to keep waiting for the titanic to turn around that is for sure. It is sinking and fast. I need to grab a life boat and hang on for dear life. I am increasingly growing aware that I am not selfish as I have given all to 2 people that have rung me dry due to their own issues, and I have allowed it. My marriage being one and addicted child the other. I have to get ME happy and create my own happiness, I am getting older and NEED to find peace in MY life and not worry so much about others, they are responsible for them and I do not have to accept not take part in their misery!
