I have 2 children and it was very difficult financially to raise them. I can sympathize with kids coming of age. Rent is insane, thought of owning a home is non exsistant, food is up, gas, insurance. They can’t afford to live much less have children.
Forty years of smoking cigarettes got me a throat cancer that sneaked in painlessly and life was saved by a burned-out VA doctor who told me the news so blandly it jolted. No one told me the ability to speak (or sing, or even whistle) would be gone - but I adjusted easily being a guy who never said much anyway unless it seemed important.
All this also made me keep in mind there are always people far worse off than we may be and we have to appreciate what we're blessed with. Not presuming to be in your shoes, just trying to encourage.
