My mother had a long string of abusive men in her life. Since she chose to make us children see it over and over again, she is guilty of child abuse in my book. Anyone who is on this site for the last few years who still has children in government schools is guilty of child abuse if/when something happens to their children in my view. Maybe 1 car and 1 parent working is an option. Maybe selling that McMansion and living more humble is an option. Children are more important than a car that will end up as scrap, or the crappy houses we live in that are crap in a few decades.
I'm pretty thrifty, I have internet, no cable, and no subscriptions except a Karfun Karaoke sub at 10 bucks a month. We are downsizing from a house to an apt. in a few months. We both work OT as much as we can (I'm on hiatus because of the SS early retirement cap) We don't drive. We are surviving much better than most folks.
I have paid off a lot of 0% APR CC debt with only a Care Credit Dental bill that has 15 months left at 0% APR. My family are scumbags, I just hope they haven't chopped any penises or breasts off the children. No desire at all to see them destroy their children's lives.
On a brighter note: I have a good relationship with my more traditional family on my wife's side. They might be a bit lazy, but they aren't woke. Thank God the Philippines culture hasn't been indoctrinated as much as the west.
Yeah, I know. Hunter Biden has the Finger Lakes Tattooed on his back. Allegedly that's a Satanic hotspot. Satanists rape their own children to F em up so they join the cult.

Agree 100% percent.
Cook at home, cut the cable, reconcile with family and band together, or with friends, or both.

I won’t reconcile with crazy leftist family members. They are not to be trusted. Period.
It's all about intergenerational child abuse. We end that... we got em!
