Hi Stewy i think this is stress building up are you currently looking for other work while still employed ? maybe a change of scene will work wonders who knows
As for your gf i dont know the politics or dynamics but maybe a lovely dinner out somewhere then a film or an art gallery something which is a change of scene
I think if you clear the air with your parents & talk to them aswell as listen and try to find some common ground & understanding it will really help
Another idea is you could with your gf & child have a nice day out somewhere diffrent catch a train and explore some countryside maybe ?
Here for you Stewy
