Just been told today that I need to look for another job in a month's time (I am a freelance copywriter) and I am finding the timing incredibly off as I am coming up terms with my brother's terminal illness and the fact he could go any day now.
Talk about crappy timing. I have dealt with so much over the past few years (see my other posts about head injury, breakdown, post concussion and movement disorder, plus my ectopic in March).
I've got to be really strong and just bloody get on with it, but it made me feel so helpless today when I told my parents and my mum gave me a lecture (when I'm aged 36) about how she went to work long hours with children etc and I've had in cushy etc. Talk about a guilt trip..! Plus the usual lecture about being really proactive and getting on with things instantly. I guess I am BU making a remark about this as they will be helping me out financially, but my parents were never made redundant nor have had health issues, so I did find my mum's remark a bit hurtful.
I guess I am asking AIBU to ask life to give me bloody break and deal me something good for once? I know everyone has adversity and just gets on with it, but I am finding it hard to keep on slogging away when the past few years have been so tough.
