I just got home after a BBQ with my College friends. OMG, everywhere you turned there was some difficult issue to face. It was great to see one another but hearing all this stuff is so hard.
In summary:
* One friend wants another child and her DH has said no way. They arrived and left separately and didn't really speak to one another. She was in tears when talking with another friend.
* Three of us have had parents pass on in the last six months.
* One friend just had his wife pass away and he is dealing with two little boys, a new home and no job.
* One spouse is causing tension between her DH and Brother In Law over issues dealing with her MIL.
* A couple people are so stressed out they want to give up their high tech jobs and work at Wal-Mart.
* One was complaining about her DH's siblings who beg for money to finance their own McMansions and lifestyle while they themselves are pinching pennies.
My head is spinning. Why does life get so crazy? I know we will get stronger as we get through all this but it's hard to see everyone hurting all at once.
Anyone else feel this way?
