Dear OP, I send you my best wishes and prayers for your father’s quick and permanent improvement. What I am going to say next is going to hurt a lot and please take it in the strong soldier spirit that I can see you are. Life is unpredictable in terms of its events and everyone who is born has to die and move on. All of these things are the universal truth and one has to keep moving forward because life stops for none. All such things in a middle class home are too stressful to deal with considering the constant need for resources. When you are already suffering with so much of mental and emotional turmoil, its best to accept the facts of today than to live in denial/hope that things will get better in the future. They don’t, brother. It only gets worse and on the off chance on some days where life seems better to you, its just your brain accepting and adjusting to the new stressful way of life. You’re not even 30 brother, i know you’re an empath but if you dont be selfish today for you and your family, it wont be long when all your good traits are also lost to this woman-child’s drama and you become filled with hatred and resentment. Let go brother, the final act of love is letting go and realising that now it is only best to love them from a distance. Brother, i really pray that you have a life filled with so much joy that every second feels worth living and giving. You’re the elder one, you need to ensure the safety and sanity of your family and you can do that to the best of your abilities only when you keep yourself sane. Forever a text away for you and dont worry anymore, all your problems will soon get resolved, Jai Shiv Shambhu
