Early in the year my wife lost her father because of sepsis in the hospital.
She got pregnant and months later had a bump on her breast. It turned out to be normal for now but needs constant checkups because her family is filled with cancer-related deaths.
I started to develop panic attacks and a rectified cervical spine.
Baby was born one month prematurely and needed to stay 15 days on hospital watch.
Wife had postpartum depression worsened by her bipolarity and had to be checked into a mental hospital.
Spent Christmas alone with my newborn.
After a month my wife got to go home under orders of having a caretaker for the week and several pills.
I'm the only one working right now, with massive debt and burned out credit cards. Paying for those pills made it even harder, but I can't tell her or she'll want to stop taking them.
Baby got stomach problems and had to be bought special formula.
I'm sleep deprived, broke, in pain, but I can't stop and break down because I'm the only one that can keep them afloat, as several people have already told me.

I love them both very very much, don't get me wrong. I just wish life would give us a break.
