Leaving

My son is considering ending his relationship with his Venezuelan girlfriend. Not surprising as he is trying to graduate and find a job, and neither of them can afford the commute between Caracas and Devon. He is kind enough to ask me for advice.

My daughter is having trouble with the pennilessness and worklessness of her partner and father of her children. He hasn't even looked for a job in at least 7 years. Where she'll go if she leaves him, i know not.

My nephew has been chucked out by the mother of his child. My sister is not best pleased, as she doesnt look forward to the 80 mile round trip ferrying him on access visits and having a small screaming thing in the house for a week at a time.

My other sister, recently divorced (she left him), is not impressed that our mother is not welcome at grandson's birthday party, to be held at sister's ex's house.

My great aunt is nearly 100 but nursing a replaced hip after a fall, is blind and deaf and may not reach 100. If she has a heart attack, she wont be resuscitated as that will smash all her fragile ribs. There is some iffy stuff regarding her estate which my father left me to sort out. Fortunately, her home is very supportive, but the chances are, she'll leave this mortal coil shortly. And I am in charge of the funeral arrangements apparently.

I dont half want to leave and get a new job, even if I got applause at a meeting today (see Facebook). My boss has managed to grab the funding for his favourite project, with the loss of my favourite project, which I could get very upset about, especially as there might be future consequences. I have been there too long.

And as previously related, out the blue, my partner announced she was leaving me, last week. Fortunately, this mental aberration lasted only 2 hours or so, but now there is a major trust rebuilding exercise required.

So that's all there is about leaving, this week. I'll leave it at that.
