“2019 has been one hell of a year. In many ways, it has been amazing especially in terms of self-growth. In many ways, it has been gut-wrenchingly difficult,” Osbourne wrote on Instagram. “However, through all the good and bad it has been incredibly educational for me. I have come to the realization that I constantly put the needs of others before my own. I allow myself to be put in situations that make me feel uncomfortable for fear of upsetting someone else.

“Not forgetting the number of times I co-sign the bulls— of others. With almost 2 1/2 years of sobriety under my belt, I still struggle with confrontation (which was NEVER a problem when I was using) Well this all STOPS today.
“2020 is going to be the year of me!!! It’s time to put myself first, stop taking on other people’s shit and be the badass sober women I was born to be. [Happy New Year]
I love you guys “
The post comes on the heels of reports that Osbourne’s father, rock legend Ozzy, is on his “deathbed” and seems to be preparing for the end of his life.
“Ozzy is in chronic pain and begging to be put out of his misery!” an insider claimed to Radar Online. “He’s in such bad shape that he didn’t even notice Sharon wasn’t there.”
According to the report, Osbourne and wife Sharon did not celebrate together over the holidays. Sharon Osbourne traveled to England with Kelly Osbourne as part of a work commitment. Ozzy Osbourne was reportedly unable to fly due to his health, leaving him apart from his wife and daughter.
Son Jack Osbourne and daughter Aimee Osbourne were left behind in the United States to tend to the ailing rocker, but it marked the first time in 40 years that he was separated from his wife during the holidays.
Osbourne experienced a medical emergency earlier in 2019 after falling in his home. April confirmed the rock legend had fallen in his home during the night, dislodging metal rods placed in his back following 2003 motorcycle accident.
While he was doing well at the time with his recovery, current reports indicate he’s facing a tough battle. Sharon Osbourne has fought similar reports in the past, though.
“The thing is, why be so like, ‘crazy train?’ How disrespectful to anyone…I’d just like to say something, Ozzy ain’t going nowhere,” Sharon Osbourne said on an episode of The Talk back in October.
