My stomach has hurt more in the last two weeks than it had in the last two years. Anxiety go brr.
There is progress being made, but it is hard and the methods are a little traumatic. Sorta an end justifying the means kind of situation. Hopefully. Every indication is that we're doing the right things, but these things are adamantly opposed by the one most affected person, and that feels like poopy doodoo.
I every now and then find myself grappling with a pretty hefty fear that things won't work out positively, and we'll be stuck with blame and resentment rather than happiness and appreciation. Only time will tell I guess. We're leaving things in the hands of the more educated and experienced for now.
Other updates are pretty normal. Little change with my father in law. My sibling in law is still a narcissist causing harm to their family. Nate's job is still stressful for him but manageable. Family is still working hard to communicate and support each other through tough times. Nersch is still visiting. Erica is still smiling. I'm still living and trying to thrive. Self care is still happening, home is still clean, life is still good despite the difficulties of the current situation.
That's all I've got for now, fam. I might write a monthly soon, but if I do it'll probably be vague and pretty much just like this post. I dunno.
