Overwhelmed

I just need a place to write out my woes since I’m feeling overwhelmed. I’m fairly resilient and most days I’m extremely grateful for everything in my life, it some days it catches up to me and I find myself there today. I am moderately successful, have a wonderful child, my own home, married, relatively healthy. But, I’m sick of some of my lazy employees who make my life hell, I love my husband-but he is a gambling alcoholic who has been unemployed for almost two years (he’s also had multiple affairs in the past), I love my mom- but the financial burden of taking care of her is all on me, my brother molested a family member and I am also financially responsible for him since he is kind of a loser (but alas- he would be homeless without my help), and I’ve gained weight so I hate the way I feel. Not a single soul knows about any of this in my life. I seem strong and I handle it all on my own, but I wish I could wave a magic wand and make the people in my life make better choices since their issues all stem from their own trauma (both my mom and husband had narcissistic mothers- my brother may himself been abused by an uncle who was sent to live with us by our evil grandmother).
