Ex left me during the most stressful time in my grad school career and took a bunch of my stuff while I was recovering with family. They also almost stole my dog but I had to threaten a police report to get him back. Then my parents got sick and lost their jobs because of the sickness, so I basically had to take a year out of school to help do damage control. Only good thing is that I started dating again and met someone who I’d love to spend the rest of my life with but my school is on the opposite side of the country. I really don’t know I was supposed to get out of this year but I wanted to die so many times.
