Two issues. First is my health. I've had a lung complication for 7 weeks now. Two rounds of prednisone, two different antibiotics, OTC allergy meds, and I'm still short of breath, gasping and wheezing part of the time. Wearing a mask helps- my lungs seem to react to everything in the air- but I've had to deal with rudeness from total strangers about wearing a mask. I am appalled that people will speak to others the way I've been spoken to, taunted, insulted.
DD's marriage/financial situation. They (and the 6yo stepson) live with us so we see it, 24/7. Seeing a whole new side to my SIL that I never would have guessed existed- and we knew him as a friend for 6 years before he married DD. They are in a world of financial hurt and mess and he is the worst person with money I've ever seen. DD is in grad school, has no independent income, he doesn't support her financially at all. His credit is crap due to huge medical and legal debt, and I am worried sick that he's going to trash her credit, that they are going to get buried in a hole they can't get out of. I see how this, on top of the rigors of an advanced MSW program, is wearing on DD's mental, physical, and emotional health, and I know she can't see how to make things better. They are adults, there's nothing I can (or should, unless asked) do about it, but the worry and stress keeps me up at night, makes me constantly anxious and sick to my stomach.
