Day in and day out, the business is shaking. If it continues like that, it might go on and collapse. The possibility of that happening is weighing heavily on me.

He hasn’t said anything but there are days I wonder if I am the one who brought him bad luck.

Can you blame me? He was doing so well before gave birth. Is it just a coincidence that things took a drastic turn when I had the baby?

On top of that, he has been having some family disputes. So the burdens on his shoulders are on different fronts. What if he also starts thinking I am the reason he is going through difficult times?
