Work, school, dad cheating, parents seperating... all in 1 month.
Sorry I?ve been MIA ladies! Quick catch up on my life in the past month ? it?s not pretty ? 
I started school on Aug 30th, and while I was at my 1st day of school my work let go 17 people and totally restructured the company. I went from covering 4 accounts and doing daily receptionist duties (which kept me busy 75% of the day) to now entering daily orders for 30+ accounts in 34 hours a week. So basically I do 5 times the amount of work I was doing in less hours. And I now have no free time to play at work (I know the point is not to play, but it was fun!). So now I?m crazy busy at work, and going to school part time 3 days a week too. I officially have NO life, my week days consist of work & school while my weekends consist of studying and cleaning our apartment.
And then last week I had the largest bomb of my life dropped on me. Super long story ? so I?ll give you the short version?. Ran into the pastor who married us (who I don?t like) and he asked me how things were going at home (meaning my parents house) and how were all dealing with everything going on there ? I had no idea what he was talking about and once he realized this, he quickly back tracked. I called mom to find out what our pastor was talking about to find out my dad told her 2 weeks ago he wanted to leave her. I also found out my dad was cheating on my mom for 6 months last year and wants to leave my mom for the other women now that things have settled down with the wedding. I?ve been in total shock over all of this for the past week, trying to comprehend my whole family flipping upside down. It?s made me sick. To think that my dad, who I?ve idolized growing up is totally the farthest thing from the person I thought he was.
And then the fact that the pastor said something to me about it, when he heard what was going on through a very gossipy lady at church who my mom thought she could confide in, just pisses me off to no end too.
Sorry, I just needed to vent to someone other than my husband about the craziness that I call my life right now?

What a tough situation! I'm sorry. I think it was also innapropriate for your pastor to have brought up the situation without knowing 100% that your parents had talked to you first.
Keep us posted and keep your head up!
Wow, you're dealing with a lot right now, what a tough situation, especially with your parents! I'm surprised the pastor would even say anything in such a private matter!!
I'm sorry you're going through so much and I hope that things settle down at work and my thoughts are with you as you deal with your family.
RIP Dr. Irving Fishman - 10/1/19-7/25/10 - thank you for holding on for me.
You made my wedding day complete.
THANK YOU ladies!!! You are all so wonderful!!
It's been a very tough month, but with the grace of God and help from a few friends, DH and your support I'll make it through it.
I have made it very clear to both parents that I need to stay on the outside of this and know only need to know info ... plus currently neither my younger brother or sister know about this. My parents are waiting till this weekend when my brother will be home from school to tell them. They are still undeicided on telling them about the "other women". So I have kinda of had to go through all of these emotions alone as my other sibilings do not know yet...
