I am really struggling right now and I guess I need a virtual parent hug and support. A couple of months ago my very sharp and beloved dad unexpectedly died and I am still struggling with the waves of grief. My marriage has also been falling apart for a while now but lately it has been extra grim—just a torrent of daily verbal abuse. And to make matters worse, this week I was suddenly let go from a job I’ve held for years and just feel beyond mortified and like my worst fears about myself (and certainly what my husband thinks of me) have been validated.
I have two kids and I know I need to keep it together for them but it’s so hard. I just want to sleep and disassociate. I know I’m at least fortunate to have some money saved but I live in a very high COL area and divorce here is very daunting. I am also extremely fortunate to have another job lined up but my confidence is in the gutter and I’m worried I’m going to flame out there quickly. I guess i just really need my dad to tell me everything will be okay and that I will get through this 😭

Sometimes when it rains it pours. I am so sorry you are going through this all at once. Lost my dad 23 years ago and I still talk to him and feel his presence. My dad sends me signs when I need them the most. Look for them; they are there. A big hug to you.
