I have lost/misplaced/thrown out an extremely important document that I need right now.

I have torn my house apart, have barely slept and had a massive anxiety attack - need to focus on anbeing proactive rather than reactive

Deep breaths

Did you find it?

About 10 years ago I couldn't find my passport the day before a flight. It necessitated a mad trip to the passport office in Brisbane for a new one. After I got on the plane I took my the book out that I had packed in my backpack and found the old passport in the pages of the book.

I stopped looking, it caused me to much anxiety - title deeds to my mums house

Settlement agent needed them, so I have had to delay settlement while we go through the process of getting a duplicate. Easy if she was alive, but so much additional paperwork in death

My old man has now had two twenty plus year marriages and my brother got married three times in decade, divorce ain't no biggy.

Maybe in a family of complete bell ends it isn't.

My sister has been married three times and has 5 kids from 3 different fathers. Whenever one of my nephews or niece is giving me the shits I'll say to them, "Whose kid are you?"

I've got a younger mate in a similar setup. He's one of a cadre of brothers from 3 different fathers.

One set is pretty smart, one set is super smart and one is dumb as a box of hammers. The Mum is now a lesbian as well, which I think is brilliant.

Not married but same thing my mate splitting with a partner of 15 years. Now he has to sit in this big house he's renovating all by himself..

In saying that in a small town it's a great advantage that its very easy for him to see his kids.

Single mum next door screaming and swearing at her boys half the week. I swear she even once said "Or you will be dead".

I know the boy too from swimming lessons, for a 6 year old he was pretty much perfectly behaved. He deserves better.

It's usually in jest and they're mostly in their 20s and 30s. And they do tell me to take a long walk.

My best mate at work came in this morning looking very down. His wife had been expecting their first baby and were really excited about it. But she had a miscarriage on the weekend. What do you even say to something like that? Then one colleague, who always makes it about her, started talking about how her second cousin once removed had a miscarriage. Seriously, stfu for once.

I guess you just try and support them and let them know you're there if they need to chat.

no words really. be there for your mate. absolutely gut wrenching.

also no words about the colleague. We all have associates like that. it's as if they have no comprehension or ability to read the room. an associate once at a bbq was in a group conversation. i confided in teh small group that the old man has cancer. he opined "(sons name)'s classmates dad has cancer...i mean what do you say to the family?".

or they also dont know what to say and its what spits out in an uncomfortable situation. People get so uptight about what some people may say in awkward situations.

As they say, sometimes it's best to keep your mouth shut and look like a fool, than to open it and remove all doubt. hahaha

While this may be true in some cases it's definitely not in this case. This colleague needs to make every situation about her.
