Jeezus man, reading this made me feel for you; troublesome times indeed and having gone through various parental complications like yours myself I empathize.
It seems like every way you turn there's a hit, I know that feeling too, and it's terribly draining on...well, everything. (Except your hair which is magnificent.)
Keep your head up (if you can under the weight of your hair) and keep pushing forward, or at least remain standing, and things will start to move in the right direction I'm sure.
You know where I am if you want to unload a little.
Thanks man. I feel like i'm lacking plenty of instructions for a 46 year old guy, but is it a just a question of being patient and letting things fall into place. I do hope so.
I think there's an element of that and also of turning mind-rocks over and seeing what's there meaning investigating what might be possible (job perspective) and accepting that a change of direction can be possible and viable. I did that and it worked ok for me, and in the current scenario in IT it might be a good path to follow in whatever directions you uncover.
I think it's important to be a little kind to yourself as well, not blame, and that'll help keep the headspace in the right place. Celebrate something each day...your hair for instance.
Seriously though, don't be hard on yourself.
This is the time to turn over those rocks I guess, starting with the massage course which will throw me out of my comfort zone and keep me occupied.
You are right, I am trying, always a trier!
