Thanks 2020

Cancer diagnosis,

Anxiety,

Surgery,

Covid-19 isolation starts,

Long hours at work,

Depression,

My ex of 8 years cheats on me,

Couple’s counseling starts,

Longer hours at work,

My ex finishes her job training,

My ex breaks up with me two days later,

to live with the person she cheated with,

Ridicule from my family and friends for being naive,

Couple’s counseling is terminated,

Quarantine protocols continue,

Major depressive episodes,

Sleepless months,

Loneliness,

My ex tells me to never contact her again,

Ridicule from my family for being weak,

Pressured into family group gatherings for the holidays,

Continuous family in-fighting.

Thanks, 2020.
