My car has officially given up the ghost which I was half expecting but still sucks ass because car prices are so inflated RN. I let my dad know and he had to immediately call me and get on my case about everything and make it so much worse. I have a lot of work to finish this afternoon but I don’t know how to calm down. I’m really exhausted and I’m going to England at the end of the week and have a lot to do to be able to deal with that as well.

A funny addendum to this is he felt like he needed to pressure me to visit my brother and talk to my sister - I think he feels like l’m falling out of step with the family. The funny thing about this is that I am always the one to reach out and lately have not had the time or energy - but that doesn’t stop anyone from reaching out to me. Maybe if you want me to hang out with you stop being insane to me lmao

@angrboda I had a similar pileup a month or two back. Work stress, family stress, medical stress, pandemic stress, and then on top of that someone hit-and-run our parked car.
It can all just be too much at times :(

@angrboda, that blows. I'm sorry you're having to deal with that right now. Dads have a real bad way of barking check-lists in order to resolve things instead of understanding the frustration of the situation is at least as bad as the problem, itself. :(
I hope things get easier and it's a good time soon. :)

@angrboda That sounds like it was the absolute worst way he could have reacted to that, and it's awful that he thought that was the right way forward.

It feels like all people have for me is expectations about what I should do or need to be doing and I’m trying my best but nobody is willing to meet me half way. I just want to go to bed for a while.
