I know it’s trite to say, but hang in there because things always get better.
I hope you're right. Doesn't feel that way.
Why?
Small kids. Non-stop work. No help from parents or the government. In my country if you're a freelancer, you got zero pandemic-related stipends. Has ended in divorce. Traumatized kids. I'm an emotional wreck, but I try to hide it and soldier on. There's only so much people can take before they give up.
Child of (now many times) divorced parents. It's often the right choice. Just try not to bad mouth the other parent in front of them. That hurts worse than having two Christmases.
Ya, I know better than that.
I wish you the best and hope things get better for you.
