Last night my mom got in a really bad car accident. Her XRays came out okay, but she's in a lot of pain and my little brother is really shaken up. It took a while but I finally convinced her to let me stay at her place to help her out. She's a bit stubborn when it comes to taking any kind of help. She's a real fighter. An insparation.
I also found out that my dad isn't going to be around much longer, neither is his wife. I'm not on the best terms with either of them, but I want to get some sort of closure with him.
This year has been one giant hell.
I'm honestly scared of what's going to happen next.

Stay strong, man. Take good care of your mom, in spite of her protestations. There is very little in this life that we have any kind of control over, but if your dad is open to it, I'm sure that you guys can find a bit of common ground with enough time and effort. Swallow any lingering pride and make the first move.
Even if things don't work out like you hope, may you find peace and comfort in acceptance. Wishing you all the best in the coming year.
