I went to 4 different high schools because I was a messy, terrible kid. I have made my peace with that, accepted the responsibility, healed the best I could from the petty little traumas that attended my poor record in school.
I thought I was through it & on with my life. I& #39;m 51.

But now my kids are attending school remotely, because my body is a wreck, and they could bring the Rona home and harm or even kill me. My kids need me, they like living inside, and eating food, and I am their loving father.
But this remote learning is a mess.
But this remote learning is a mess.
I feel like I am failing them, because it is so difficult to do the learn from home thing, and I am poorly equipped, to say the least.
I& #39;m back in junior high, and I don& #39;t feel the school system in this red district of this red state cares about "working class" kids& #39; families.

We are struggling with anxiety issues in the kids, the parents, and the family that are all exacerbated by the pandemic. My wife is working from home, and I work nights, doing essential work. The load falls on her and she is a frazzled mess. I am not here to help.
So, we are probably sending them back to regular school. Where the virus is increasing, but we are being told how "well" it all is going.
I& #39;m not a man who feels scared very often. At 51, I still feel pretty immortal, but I agonize over this.
But we aren& #39;t doing well enough.

I don& #39;t need money, or any physical thing. Thoughts, prayers, supportive vibes, and love are surely appreciated.
I just need to confess my deep inadequacy to rise to this challenge. I feel I am failing my family, and endangering them, and myself.
I feel helpless.

I feel helpless.
Just as I felt in high school.
I struggle to understand why we are so bad at this simple thing, why people pretend that it is normal in any way. How this is political. The world I grew up in is gone.
I& #39;m sick, and it will kill me soon enough, too soon.
My kids dont deserve this.
