aibu to think life can suck balls sometimes

[whatisforteamum]

I took the plunge and gave in my notice at work after finding a less pressured job nearby.I had put this off as DF is v ill and has been for a yr.I feel a bit of a wrench as ive had 10 great yrs there and over 1 not so great..too many hrs short staffed exhausting.My DF is now really ill barely eating cant get out when he was previously v activehe has lost 2 stone and can hardly walk ive got a feeling he may die sooner than later :(
My dd starts work today and ds starts 6th form fri.We were in the car (stationary) when an arctic delivery lorry turned left swinging his back end out and hitting the car we were in,Luckily he smashed in backdoor and rear end lights and back panels...the car will be written off.I was only driving in town as i usually walk as i was collecting some bread for Mum.
I am not angry what is the point i would however like crap things to stop happening and get transport before i start my new job next week.

Oh no!

I hope the week improves

Op my deepest sympathy and yes agree life can be utter shit and lots of bad stuff comes together.

Also you sound about my age and have elderly sick parents as well as kids who although older still need support and care.

Like you I work, care for sick parents and have 4 older/grown up kids who still need help/advice and my care. Soon to be a gm too.

It's a tough time when kids are little but think it's tougher when you are the sandwich caring for all the generations and no bugger is caring for you!

Hope things get better op. and just glad none of you were hurt in the accident.

How shit thank god nobody was hurt though.

If it's any comfort, in my experience all the shit stuff seems to happen together. So you're due good times now. Hope it all works out in your favour

((Hugs)). Agree sadly it all comes at once. One year i dreaded phone calls as each one informed me of another member of the family had died. I think we lost 4 close members in that year on top of dm cancer (she ok now) and my husband redundancy (ok now). Ok they were all eldery but still all (apart from one) were in good health. We lost two in one day 10am and 10pm!! Glad it was only the car that was hurt not your family. Hope your dd enjoys her first day at work and ds enjoys his first day at school and good luck in your new job. Fingers crossed re your df and his recovery. ((Hugs))

oh thanks i thought dm having cancer df dying of it and dh having a heart attack 20 months ago was enough.I know there are people with sick children and worse off but i would like a break now ive taken the plunge to break away from some unsupportive colleagues.Df wont recover he has cancer everywhere and has been suffering for many moths which is hard to watch.Thank you all for the good wishes though :)

Bad thing are supposed to come in threes.

Your turn for bad should be done now, and hopefully better fortune comes your way soon.

Sometimes life is just shit. I try to tell myself that the bad times help you really appreciate the good times. Sending big hugs. Congratulations on your new job.

I agree the bad times do make the normal times seem easy tbh.At least i only have 2 days at my old job then start new one on 11th so hope to find another car to buy before i need to settle in,

You've had more than enough crap, you must feel the world is out to get you, what a tough time your having My dm was in your position a few years ago with both my gp's it was awful. The new job sounds like a good move, good luck.

perhaps the wrong title for the thread.My ds wrote us a letter explaining he is gay and has known for yrs.He is almost 17.I am not surprised dh massively is.they are not close.I naively think homophobia is a think of the past but pple tell me it is still about. I am hoping no more unexpected things happen for a while but fear they will.
