[quote=Anonymous]I look totally normal and happy from the outside and my DH and I have checked a ton of accomplishment boxes, but I have a super-high ACEs score, our family is filled with mentally ill relatives and early deaths, and it’s exhausting. I feel sad because I know that no matter how hard I work, my kids won’t have the strong supportive extended family that many of her peers have, and I know that will make her path more difficult. OP, I often think about the question you’ve raised and it makes me sad but also gives me a ton of compassion for people I see whose traumas are worn more obviously than mine. I think people without any major things often think smugly it’s because of something they did or earned, and from my perspective it’s just luck of the family you’re born into.[/quote]
