How's this for fucked up:
My mother has had Lupus for 11yrs and has had so many complications I can't even begin to list them all. She's currently in the hospital and has spent most of this year there. My father is in the late stages of lung disease and has chosen to die at home as apposed to a hospice. Two nights ago I get a call @ 4am (only 1/2 after getting to sleep) from my brother telling me that my dad attempted to commit suicide via pills. A half hour later I booked a flight and left before mid-day. I've been fighting off one of those supper bug colds for about a month now and I thought I had the sucker finally beat, but the stress and complete lack of sleep has brought it back full on, so even though I'm home again to take care of my parents I can't be around either of them due to their inefficient immune systems
Add to the above the fact that I had to leave a job that I only started 3mths ago, my struggling relationship with the misses, and the fact that I was just starting to my life back on track..........
Needless to say it feels like the world is out to swallow me whole.
On a positive note, my father survived this episode, and thanks to some supportive friends, I was able to find a place to crash at until I feel a bit better.
