Forget a glass of wine, I could use a few bottles right about now.

My mom’s in a tight spot, my sister is having issues with her roommate in college and her dad, my stepdad, just found out he has cancer. All of this news was dumped on me this past Saturday and it’s been reeling in my head ever since. I have no power to make any real change for anyone and nothing I can say will make anyone feel better. And two of these three things I’m not even suppose to know about.

How? How am I to stabilize myself in this midst of this? Am I being selfish thinking of how my family affects me rather than thinking of how I can affect them?

Why can’t it all just go right?
