A comment on Once an Addict, Always an Addict?. Parent comment
Growing up in generational poverty and finding myself out of it, I carried a similarly angry perspective about people for a while as an adult.
I would suggest listening to the stories of people who you say can’t cope and maybe be open to the idea of empathy.
Zero sympathy costs more energy than you maybe might realize. Is it really worth it? It wasn’t for me.
