Watching as the rights of themselves and at least some of their children get regressed by decades in real time tends to negatively impact mental health.
Plus all social nets or any amount of financial or health help have been cut or are on the chopping block as we speak. Fun times.
Shocking. I wonder if it has anything to do with women’s rights being obliterated or the world we’re sending our children into being absolutely infested with Nazis / rapidly trending toward being too hot to support human life.
I’m Canadian, so not American, but for me it’s because I don’t have the same grandparent support my parents had. We had to move far away to be able to afford a place to live and now we have no help. My siblings and I practically lived at our grandparents’ houses, and so did all of our cousins. I hear a lot about how uninvolved grandparents are lately, whether by choice or by practicality (the distance, for us).
