[quote=Anonymous]It is sad but also comforting to me to find that others are in the same boat with regards to really unsupportive families. The PP talking about how the low self-esteem from a really dysfunctional family pushes back having kids and depresses wages is so spot on. And by the time you understand this and might do something to fix it, you're just so old. And you have to do it mostly on your own, maybe with a supportive spouse if you're lucky. But no family support. Friends help but it's not the same. And then when, on top of that, schools shut down, daycares limited enrollment and hours, community centers were closed, parent groups scaled back or disappeared... the sense of isolation, like okay I guess I am really and truly just doing this on my own -- it's a bitter pill. I know not everyone feels this way but I do.[/quote]
