When it rains, it pours
mind a short vent?
I'm almost at my boiling point.....in the past 2 weeks:
- My nana went into the hospital, then a nursing facility, and now there is a family battle over where she should go next (she lives alone and wants to go home, but she's not really well enough to be alone). Its unclear if she will be well enough to go to the wedding (which would break her heart as much as mine).
- Due to family drama over nana, my dad and aunt are not speaking (this stuff never happens)
- My other grandmother is having health issues and can't/won't leave the house. ever.
- Andrea's Bubby (grandmother) put her house on the market. This is the house she's lived in forever and raised her family in, so she's really upset. Not only that, but there is so much to do/clean to get the house ready to sell and we're going crazy trying to find a new apartment/condo for her.
- My aunt is struggling with severe mental health issues and is in a very bad downward spiral. also won't be at the wedding (for the best).
- My dad just found out he's being laid off. He's been with the company for 22 years.
i hate to make it all about me, but does all this really have to happen 3 weeks before the wedding? or at all?

Sorry all this is happening to you. ::hugs::
Hope things improve quickly and everything is resovled before your big day.

Sorry you are having to go through this all, especially right now. My best wishes are with you and your families. Hang in there the best you can, and vent here whenever you need to.
I especially feel for you about your aunt's health-- it is so hard to see that kind of thing happen, and be powerless to do anything about it (my brother is having severe mental health issues right now; it is breaking my heart).
IUI #3 gave us the best 2nd anniv. gift ever: 2 babies! (born 03/09/10)
Peanut and Little Man are getting so big! 2 years old already!
finally blogging again at This Will Be: An Adventure
oh goodness. I'm sorry everything is so wrong right now.
On a semi-bright side, perhaps it is best it is all at once (bad timing aside) rather than stretched out horribleness
Elise and Christine...
Not sure if this will be much help or not, but I've worked in the mental health system since I got out of undergrad. I've done everything from admissions, to discharges, to field work, to the legal side of things. If you guys have any questions, or there's anything I can maybe help with, don't hesitate to let me know. The mental health codes can be tricky as they can be state and county specific, but there are some commonalities that are federally mandated, so they would be the same across the board.
Elise...sorry that all of this is happening right before your wedding. That completely sucks...sending good vibes your way from down south.
