Update on the Life of Major

Major Blunder's picture

I haven’t written an actual blog in a while mainly because I don’t have a lot to say, I know for the most part the comments I will get to my situation at hand and there have been a lot of Harpies and Trolls as of late and really don’t need their unwanted two cents.

However in the spirit of community here I go, this is simply a state of the family blog, not really looking for advice, might be some venting, any Harpies, Trolls or just unnecessarily mean comments are not wanted.

GSS is doing well by all accounts, he seems to be progressing at a normal rate for an infant, and he has a cognition study later this month.

SD24 is now living with us as her baby daddy, sperm donor , aka a$$hole, aka your choice now hasn’t stopped abusing drugs and DSS told her she could not get her children back if she stays with him.

SD24 goes back and forth between getting back with him and moving on without him, I have a feeling this will be a longgggg time getting through this mess.

DW has been ok but I believe she is feeling the physical symptoms of depression, she is tired a lot and getting pain in the hip when there is no known reason for it, SD24 does the majority of the baby work now so we can’t blame it on the baby. But she is smiling through it.

I have good and bad days mentally, some days I want to toss SD24 out in the street other days I just want to hold her and tell her everything is going to be alright. Still losing my job in about a month but hopeful on another position with the company, hopefully should know that any day now.

The holidays sucked overall but we got through it without a lot of drama, hoping next year is going to be better.

That’s Major’s life in a nut shell, and should hold me for a while.

Well, Major you made LF's top ten yesterday. That should make your day. Not that I'm jealous or anything.

Fingers crossed for the possible position.

I try to take it in stride, some days I do better than others. I never found a reason for you to be a Harpie Sane.

Thanks Granny, my situation isn't as bad as others, honestly not looking for "poor Major" , was just updating the group, trying to be a part of the community, etc, etc.

Morning Major, apologies for asking but what is a cognition study? We don't exactly have that here and my quick search gave me science studies.

Morning Mon, A cognition study is to see if he is progressing correctly with sight, sound, recognition, etc. for an infant at his age (almost 3 months). His mother was using drugs while pregnant and there are concerns to his overall development.

Major so you can truly say... maybe 2018 will be my year cause 2017 is already eff'd up Blum 3

Nah Sir - when one door closes another one opens, and what ever you do never hug the SD and say everything will be fine, she will just blame you when it's not fine according to her.....

glad the baby is progressing and I hope he's normal and fine, DW's hip... it comes with age, tell her to go and buy MSM pills you get it in a health store, it helps with joints and takes the pain away... oh if you have a good Chiropractor in town, it's worth it..... my hip is fine after 3 sessions, I can almost do the splits again.... injured it by falling down stairs 3 years ago and well 3 months ago I fell up stairs... yeah only me who will trip on step one at the bottom and end up on step 3 above me.....

DW rarely takes my advice on anything medical but I will try the MSM, usually for joint issues I suggest shark cartilage , it's very good for that sort of thing and available at most vitamin shops.

2017 is already looking bad but hoping it improves as the year goes by.

Oh and I have fallen up stairs, downstairs, across stairs, basically if there is a way to fall I have done it. Fell on my way in to work this morning reopened my elbow that was almost healed from the last one.

fingers crossed for the potential job opening. even tho' things are not as bad as they could be (thanks for the update), i truly hope 2017 treats the Blunder family better than 2016.

i feel sorry for your sd - just hug her. this type of breakup can be exhausting and brutal. i'm glad you're there for your sd and your wife. but yes, you need to do some self-care as well. sometimes addressing a seemingly minute need of yours can do wonders for your mental health, even if it's something like doing the sunday crossword puzzle that you used to enjoy and got out of the habit of doing. something small, but find your something for yourself.

Major, glad to hear the holidays were low drama for you. They were for me, also, for which I am EXTREMELY grateful. {Didn't keep me from finishing off the Di Saronno - I wanted to be prepared!)

Best of luck to you on finding a new job ASAP!! Biggrin
