Hey Guys,

Need some advice

Unfortunately I had a speed run on some family deaths... lost my Dad, my Brother-in-Law and my Father-in-law, all relatively recently (2021).

This means that I'm just surrounding by women, all of them lovely, but ALL the time!

Xmas, Birthday's, Events - with my dad/bro and father in law all gone... I'm left as the only guy.

To put this in perspective, for every single catch-up now, I have myself, my wife, my two daughters, my sister, her three nieces, my mum, and my mother-in-law.

Every occassion - me and 9 women!

But what's also happened is my mum has lost her husband... my mother in law her husband, my sister her husband... her neices their dad... and so on... and just i feel like my overall responsibilities for the broader family is just insane.

They don't overtly ask me - but I'm their rock for so many things!

And its nothing personal to them - I love them - but its just too much.

In June of this year - we're all planning on going on a 3 week family trip... and to be honest, the idea of being away with them for 3 weeks just makes me want to run for the hills

My wife and kids - sure... but everyone else! THey'll be bickering, passive aggressiveness - just generally, 9 women in the same room I must say - its overwhelming... let alone the stresses of being tired whilst touring.

SO yeah - any advice on this arena. I feel like its getting the better of me.

EDIT: sorry, not that it matters but perhaps this sounds like I'm older and that naturally, with age, I lost my male family members. I've actually just turned 42. I lost all of these family members 3 years ago and was late thirties
