My Household

I don't live in a Happy Home and I doubt anyone in this household is Happy. Good Times have grown so sparse I don't think anyone can name a recent one.
Quarantine has not helped this at all but actually hasn't made it much worse except for Jazzy and Kira. I know they miss at least the part of school where they got to see and be with their friends.  Jazzy awesome even comes out of her room and makes anyone who goes in there feel unwelcome.  I Know she is depressed.
The biggest effect Covid19 had on the kids was the nearly three weeks i was sick and couldn't get tested so I didnt go near the girls.  I can make that better now.  They both want me to resume teaching them at home,  neither of them like taking the online classes offered to them. I just have to pull out of my own funk enough to help them. And I Will.
Jeremy is the biggest source of discord in our home. He has grown increasingly mean and angry the last year and quarantine has definitely made it worse. Not a day goes by that we don't all hear him yelling and cussing about something and we are often treated to him displaying his feelings by punching a wall, slamming doors and stomping around.
His outright hatred if Jess and everything about her has grown intolerable. I tell him yo leave and he doesn't. I've net his mother and stepfather,  I see how he is the worst of both, I've just run out of pity for it. He's had plenty of time to See what has made him what he is and Do something about it. But. Like them, he is sure the problem isn't him but instead is the rest of the world. He's never gotten along well at a job.  Ge did break a record for holding a job working at Ford Storage but he hated it there because they mostly hated him. It does no good to point out to him that if you have similar problems everywhere you go then Tou just might be the problem!!
I just can not keep forcing Jess and the girls to live with this because I used to feel sorry for, even love, him. All the things I once loved about him are just Gone. I tried to tell Jess about what he was like when I met him and she doesn't even believe me. Not that he was ever perfect. There were disgusting things about him I saw from the start. But I, the All Powerful Me, believed he just had never been shown a better way to live, to Be. I Still believe there was Hope when I met him. I Must Have screwed up somehow in trying to help him. Maybe I am at fault for what he has turned into.
Or maybe he would be something far worse without my intervention.
I don't know.
