I'm beyond frustrated at this point in life. I know it's an all too common feeling. I'm 35 (f) single mom. When i had my child, 13 years ago, I wanted to try my hardest to make our circumstances as good as I could. I went to college part-time and worked part-time for six years, finally graduating in 2016. Got a job in my field that absolutely wrecked my mental health. I suffered compassion fatigue and couldn't benefit my clients anymore. I did mental health case management for four years and realized I would still never make enough unless I went to grad school. I applied to grad school and then the pandemic hit and I couldn't school both my child and I. I left my field to do hard labor for my mental health and honestly, it pays more. I see no end in sight of this struggle. I see these types of posts all the time and I don't see many suggestions on what we can do to change things besides contacting congressmen and voting. That's not helping so does anyone have something better aside from violent riots? I can't leave my child to go get arrested or killed.
