I'm sorry to hear that. I'm assuming this is a specific situation that you are in - most people without kids are not in the same boat. I hope that you are able to also receive benefits from your employer / government to help with whatever situation you are in.

I think you misunderstood me as having special needs, however that's defined. I'm talking about normal difficulties that life throws at you. Things like needing exercise, adequate sleep, good nutrition, friends, or having the time and resources to meet my future life partner, all of which is difficult to juggle with an extremely demanding job working at Facebook or Netflix for example. In the same way parents struggle taking care of kids while working in those careers, people without kids struggle similarly, just with different, though no less important, aspects of their lives.
