i understand that you want them to be indepedent, but at least once they no longer able to not then at least caretaker is option if you dont have time or energy to take care of them

i think orphan is better, at least you are free from abused or neglected and have freedom of choices

i am actually in crowded city, but unfortunately with poor therapist quality and you need to have long queue (2 hours+) and in the end just to get poor consultation results.

what i mean poor quality such as blatantly says : “just dont think about it”, “its not a problem”, “you are just overthinking” , etc. they just throw template answer so they can be done with you as fast as they can.

with smartphone and meta glasses everywhere, it is just impossible to avoid privacy anymore

here i am still unable to buy a house or car
