Thank you for your contribution here.

It helps me - and hopefully others - to appreciate the depth of feeling, the layer upon layer of efforts - day upon day, sometimes moment to moment - to strive on, move ahead, even hoping to thrive, maybe even enjoy! what there is in life. And to do it while helping others, being a conscientious member of society, all while struggling internally with all you've described,

And for myself and my family member, dealing in addition with the lifelong burden and weight of fundamental family issues that will never go away and are (and were) embedded in us in our early development.

Thank you - on behalf of all of us (if I may) bearing this unrelenting weight - for SEEING the struggle. Struggling alone, with little or no validation from those closest to us, is a very costly, unrelenting burden.

As I've said in the past on less weighty subjects, but applies here - "Onward!"

Again, thank you for seeing - and acknowledging - the struggle.
