Well said!
And totally right.
If you are scrapping to survive but not actually surviving why bother?
I think this is why my daughter is similar to the original post. Not as old yet but the writings on the wall.
I question if her seeing both parents bust ass, and I mean bust ass while they were young and still struggle has made her think "why bother?"
This is exactly why i checked out of relationships. I never saw a happy couple in my childhood. Every hated their partner in my family and friend group and i never wanted to get with someone to just fake happiness and be miserable.
Yeap. I have a friend who has a 17 year old daughter. High anxiety about life.
She told her mum the reason she's stressing over exams / high grades is wanting to be a psychiatrist JUST to be able not to worry about putting food on the table. It's devastating
