Since the start of this year it has been one thing after another for my family. I don't want to give too much detail and out personal stuff.
But things like a death in the family, diagnosis of serious illness, serious money problems, acrimonious breakdown of relationships amongst other things.
All of these things are happening with my close extended family but to different people.
Nothing has happened directly to me or my children, and now I feel like it's only a matter of time. I'm an anxious person and I've only just got on my feet after a hard couple of years.
I don't know, am I just being stupid to feel like there's some kind of a curse?
