Fed up with continuous disappointment

Episode 116 - Fed up with continuous disappointment

Dear Torie, 

I AM. SO. DONE. with frickin’ COVID. 

I don’t want to be one of those people who complains on social media so I thought I’d complain here so you can make something productive come out of it. 

In the big picture of things we are lucky. No one in our family has died or become seriously ill because of COVID. But the continuous disappointment is sucking the life out of me.

I’ve got kids who missed school dances, graduation parties, seasons of sports, birthday celebrations, starting freshman year with other humans, making friends, family reunions, summer camps and vacations. 

As Omicron rages and schools start talking about postponing in person learning and events, I start losing it. How am I supposed to hold it all together for my kids when I just want to throw a frickin’ temper tantrum?
