But were your parents evicted? Aside from actual physical violence or harassment, it's hard to think of an experience less traumatic and disruptive for a family.
- jimmywanger 10y ago> Aside from actual physical violence or harassment, it's hard to think of an experience less traumatic and disruptive for a family. Think harder. How about not being about to get food and watching family starve in front of you? (see Venezuela and DPRK). How about watching your grandmother die of inoperable cancer over several months, to the point to where you have to wear earplugs to sleep over her moans of pain? (happened to me) There is nothing inherently traumatic about being evicted. There is something traumatic and disruptive about losing a job, a loved one, or even a pet. What part of the first world do you live in that you categorize all this as a "disruptive and traumatic" event?
- wglb 10y agoThis comment and many of your others are over the line with respect to the guidelines. The "think harder" part in particular.
- jimmywanger 10y agoWhich others? And how is "think harder" problematic? It's like some priviledged first world teenager exclaiming that they have to study hard for some test, and it's the WORST THING EVER. There are way more worse things. Think harder
- kafkaesq 10y agoSorry -- getting evicted is not like "having to study hard for some test."
