I& #39;ve been on a retrospective kick lately. Assessing my life thus far.
Been feeling in the dumps lately and wondering if I& #39;ll ever find that elusive "life purpose". Is it ever too late to find it? https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🤷‍♂️" title="Achselzuckender Mann" aria-label="Emoji: Achselzuckender Mann">
Brace yourselves, boys & girls. Long thread incoming https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="👉" title="Rückhand Zeigefinger nach rechts" aria-label="Emoji: Rückhand Zeigefinger nach rechts">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="📝" title="Memo" aria-label="Emoji: Memo">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="👀" title="Augen" aria-label="Emoji: Augen">

The stats: 43 year old divorced male with a son. Terrible childhood growing up, no social skills to speak of, with ample emotional baggage! Battled depression with a litany of social and behavioral deficiencies. Still fighting these battles now.

Had a schizophrenic mother, a selfish father who on the rare occasion would step up (begrudgingly) to be a "dad". Have a younger brother by 2 years who unfortunately has inherited my mother& #39;s sickness. We& #39;re not close.
Mom has since passed and dad is around but sick.

Alzheimer& #39;s with a touch of dementia. How fitting for him? One could almost say it& #39;s "poetic justice". He& #39;s remarried years ago. My stepmother? Let& #39;s just say we coexist. Barely. Very judgemental and passive aggressive. Living with these two right now.

Composing all this at work. I& #39;ll eventually add more to this thread as the mood, memories, and time constraints allow me to do so. Consider this entry as a work in progress. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🚧" title="Baustellenschild" aria-label="Emoji: Baustellenschild">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🚦" title="Vertikale Verkehrsampel" aria-label="Emoji: Vertikale Verkehrsampel">
