F*ck this life.
I'm just so fucked up right now. My wife's gradparents were going to take a 100k loan to purchase a house from Turku area - it was relatively cheap for where it is. (We're talking 150k+ around Paattinen...) that we'd have rented from them, paying the debt little by little. All seemed well, for the manager had asked about the houses condition check and other stuff - and you guessed it, the asshole refused. I'd really much like to seek out his residence and plant a bomb in there... Now, we're forced to move to some crappy two-roomer in some crappy apartment building in some crappy area filled with boozers and/or junkies. This just proves that life is crap after all. Oh, I wonder which comes next, I'll be fired or the car blows? Either of those would be just suitable followings.

i've got all kinds of cheery things to say, you know.
i won't go all susie sunshine on you, but i will say that i believe you and Dame Crimson can do what you need to do to get through. you'll also be showing your child again that adversity can be coped with.
if you think you're going end up in a small apartment for the winter, then i guess you should start getting organized now. do you and your family have formal sit-down discussions about how you'll manage things? negotiation and pre-emptive strategies for daily life, including conflict resolution is pretty important when the days are long and dark and your quarters are crowded and cramped.

You take care now, especially if you take base's advice (remember, wear protection
peak': I've managed to think that way through the years hardships, but it's waning down.
I just hope nothing else comes this way...
It is always hard for folks in trouble, no matter what the troubles are, to see that life is horrible and then...sometimes very very wonderful. Politics and ppl en masse lately makes me see *horrible*...but (and I am not tribulation free) in the big picture?...I am glad I was *invited to the party*.
I'm just sayin'

Hi Ve!
(I am hugging you)
i can only recommend some coping strategies:
•exercise your child outdoors for at least an hour twice daily; it's vital for living with a small child in a cramped space.
•pack some of your chiid's toys away. there won't be space for a big stack of toys. a while later, you re--introduce them (removing something else); it will seem like new toys to him.
•designate a space for each person in the apartment that is theirs, with no complaint from anyone else as to what is there, or how tidy it is.... and the rest of the living space be kept really sorted out by everyone.
•provide for privacy, even if it's in name only. blanket room dividers or something similar.
•make a firm commitment to not murder anyone, no matter how much they fart.
i know it looks bleak; i also know you can hang in there until the bad times are behind you.
*HUG*
Yes, good to see your name pop-up… keep going.
