This as well. The ability to just to waffle about the complete shite thats stuck in your head without the accompanying guilt that your burdening freinds or family with it is a massive relief in its self.
The only problem I found was that to solve the issues in my life would mean I'd have to be a bit selfish and society doesn't usually think too kindly of that type of behaviour. E.g.
My problems:
1. I don't like my job, commuting is a pain.
2. My ex annoys me and makes me feel guilty about the split.
3. Fed up of DIY, house maintenance etc.
My solution:
Resign from job, sell house, move somewhere else, live on a barge or in rented accommodation, get a job that I like close to where I live.
For every solution (and it seems quite simple) I could see a drawback and a responsibility that meant I couldn't do it.
Reasons to stop me:
1. The job is decent, I'd struggle to get a better one, good pension etc.
2. I couldn't move too far from my kid.
3. You have to live somewhere, perhaps I just take it personally when something goes wrong with a house, car, other inanimate object?!
I hope this makes sense. In the end I sort of trained myself to be thankful with what I have and to try to deal with each problem as it arises. I do sometimes still feel overwhelmed with life in general but this must be the same for most working parents.
