I have a DS2 who is 20, neck high in debt from previous accidents being uninsured plus speeding fines(aprox $20K+ ) who changes jobs every month, who I have just registered/insured($700) his car against his fathers wishes ,to allow him to get himself to work, and find out last night he doesn't have a valid license...and hasn't since may.
I now am at home today because I just cant face the world..its ongoing...and now I had a tradesman rock up asking for DS2 who also owes him money...it just doesn't stop. His dad now blames me for allowing him to move back home and bringing all this drama and stress back into the house.So DH is still in bed totally drained and upset, and it takes a lot to get DH flustered let alone depressed.
We built a flat for him and his GF so they could get back on their feet finacially and be in a safe place, but its just getting worse...and with the DS1 now being at home going thru a divorce, and the 3 GK's here every weekend I feel so overwhelmed. My mother is also being difficult and causing drama, trying to play the boys against each other and us..its just too much.
Sorry for the offload but I just cant do this anymore.
Oh Karen, I'm just so sorry that you have to deal with this. It's so crappy being a parent sometimes , and it doesn't get any easier when the little dears "grow up" either, I know Also know how hard it is being the "sandwich generation" between elderly parents and adult kids.
You and your DH are doing an amazing job of providing support to your kids and GK and you don't deserve the stress. You also looked to me like a great, supportive, caring-of-each-other couple so I'm sure that you'll work it through together.. let loose here as much as you want - Venting is very therapeutic I think.
..and if you need a drinking buddy or two to help drown the sorrows we could have a Sydney Dis meet sooner rather than later!
