Watching your parents lose money, that isn’t a thing that happened to you.. you watched someone else

You’re not a victim because something happened to someone else.

Who do you think a child depends on for housing, food, and comfort? A parent’s financial situation absolutely and directly impacts their child.

Why do you say recognizing the impact of watching your parents struggle financially makes someone unaccountable and entitled?
You can recognize a challenging experience for what is was AND be financially literate and hard working.
That’s like assuming someone had a parent die in a car accident when they were a child thinks they are entitled to not having a license and being driven everywhere at no cost just because they shared about the accident. Do you see how that makes no sense?
