My dad died
Husband lost his job, wasn’t employed for a year
My company went through a reorg, my job changed and I am working 13 hour days
Husband got a job, but in another state we live apart
Daughter totaled the car
That is just a small example of the crap that has happened in a year
That's really just normal life. Of course a parent dying for most of us is usually hard. I lost both in one year. But the stuff you are talking about is normal life. To categorize yourself from the start as someone to whom bad stuff always happens is a recipe for a negative mindset and attendant problems from the get go.
And it continues. The rudest note imaginable from my uncle about how horrible I am and my other car broke down.
You are locked in a mindset that leads to unhappiness. You really need to change your thought processes - that is a long term project best done with a competent therapist

I get that most definitely. It is hard when bad luck happens to you all the time. Some is mindset, some is just bad shut happening all the time.
I also wonder if things might be a little better if the family were together. I don't mean to pry, but is the job the only reason you and your husband live apart. The middle schooler may need her dad more than she needs her school and her friends.

The job is. I am not uprooting the kids. We talked about it at length. We have moved a couple of times, one is going to community college next month, the other will be a junior. I am definitely a lot more isolated here than I have ever been. I work remotely and have not met a lot of people. Usually I have a gaggle of friends. Here I only have a few.
