An Established man...
UmI've had a rough go of life. The last few years the hardships of dysfunctional marriage sliced my life to bits. I stumbled because of it. A personal financial crisis and a pandemic have come, too. I claw my way back up, make a plan, work that plan, despite the problems created by lack of health, lack of finance and taking a virus head-on. And then when my mother sees me struggling, instead of helping, shouts, "just go find an established man and get married."
Feminist me says "what?!"
What did she mean? Did she mean quit attempts to finish school? Just let some "man" decide my future? What the hell?
What century are we in? Did I miss something? Is that why she was with my stepfather and seems willing to go back despite the years of abandonment? Does man money spend better?
