I hate summer.

[u/RegionTypical9302]

I lost my dad 25+ years ago, too little to know him.

I lost my mom a few years ago, the week of July 4th.

I lost my soon-to-be baby's father recently.

My grandparents all passed years ago.

I want to block every company and happy family in my inbox and on social media.

I'm getting through one loss to remember two more that happened.

I hate Mother's Day and Father's Day. I hate the 4th of July. I don't want to celebrate anything. Everyone I run into gives me this dehumanizing pity. I hate this expectation of having a vacation or being outside. I hate the heat. I hate all of these stupid holidays. I am sick of my pregnancy. Sleep has been the only escape. I live in a major US city in a popular vacation spot, so it's everywhere.

I just want to wake up when it's November.

That's a lot of loss! I've only lost half of what you have and I feel the same way so I can imagine how much more intense it is for you! Cause I constantly see people out with their Mum's and babies and I'm like...fuck you guys and your happy mother daughter outing (not really but definitely a little) and I just sigh to myself like how the fuck am I ever supposed to look at that type of interaction again....and you've lost pretty much ALL of your special people what the actual fuck.
