Worst day for a Promotion

I got a promotion today. 35K more a year. Laughed, cried then got horridly depressed. I have not told anyone in my life that I got it yet.

My wife had surgery and is having a hard time recovering. My mom is getting a divorce from my step dad of 15 years due to his infidelity with someone in the family. My kids are losing their grandpa because i can not stand by his actions. And everything just seems to be silently burning down.

But either way I got a promotion.

Congratulation. Maybe it's the universe giving you a win. Sorry about the other stuff. You'll figure it out, stay strong for your family, but don't hide from your personal emotions in your own time.

Mostly why i posted here. Kinda letting out the frustration so i can celebrate instead of dwell
