38. You and your kids can relax if you want, but he's harming my kid, so no.

My son, who has had a very hard life up to this point and seems to lose everything every time something good happens (like he finally got engaged and then she died) works for the gov't. He is depressed and angry and scared and cannot figure out how he became the enemy of the people suddenly when all he does is try to help people get the benefits they've earned. He is truly suffering, as is every federal employee, so there is no rest or relaxing to be done in this family until this shit stops.
