Setting: Quater-life crisis in the outskirts of suburbia
Character background: 25 year old, mother of 12 month old, previously beginning career in a low-paying/soul-rewarding career; impregnated while ex-sexing "the one, (that wasn't);" following 9 months of on-and-off again, to the eventual breakup (for real) in the hospital...then a year-long blur of diapers, breast pumps, family court, going back to work, resigning, moving home after 7 years, and now:
feeling like stereotypical stay-at-home welfare mom....
...without a clue about what to do next....
Ah life. It has such a tendency to smash us with a bunch of hardships all at once.
ReplyDeleteLuckily, it does the opposite too. With all of this stuff happening, you're bound to get socked with some good luck soon. So keep your spirits up, haha. Your son is ADORABLE.
