I mentioned previously that I'd been helping a family member recover from a long-term illness, and that while the treatment was successful, our time together ended badly for our relationship. We were incommunicado afterward. I learned today that this person is having a horrendous unexpected follow-up medical procedure—life-changing, and limiting.
The difference now is that I can't go and help this person due to the safety issue that led to communication being severed the last time. The issue rests with the person, and the conversations I've had today make it clear it's still very present. They have ample resources for care, but I feel absolutely awful about not being able to be there for, at the very least, emotional support. I can't safely do it, though, due to their behavior and choices.
The ramifications from this issue may affect my housing situation, which I thought had stabilized. On what time frame, I don't know. This obviously would have ramifications for the various projects on which I'm working; I can't say for certain right now. I may have to do nothing; I may have to do everything. I have to wait and see, and prepare.
This isn't a very useful post beyond "something big and negative is happening," but I'm not in a place to say much of anything useful right now. I feel I should say something, though.
