Cost of Living

Eddie Myles Jr. Observed:

“Which means food insecurity is higher than we have the ability to track in a study. Most people would consider a $400 rent increase catastrophic to their budget.

So 11k in under 2 years is an increase few families can simply absorb. So they’re going without. Now some of that is convenience foods (pre chopped vegetables, microwaveable meals, desserts etc) but not all of it.

That means families are cutting out whole food products and replacing them with sugar and salt ridden processed versions that are cheaper. So that $11k more the grocery store and its supply chain are dividing up amongst themselves has the additional burden of likely hundreds of thousands of dollars in emergency room and medication costs this families will eventually incur and not be able to pay for and wind up showing up in taxes.

So for all the “you gotta work harder.” Or the “work smarter” crowd. In the interests of your own American “bootstrap” rugged individualist lie you may want to see this as a you problem even if you can absorb that $11k.”

I have joined with many parents affected with the surreal , yet accepted issue of child abuse via Pathogenic Parenting / Domestic abuse. As a survivor of Domestic Abuse, denial abounded that 3 sons were not affected. In my desire to be family to those who have found me lacking . As a survivor of psychiatric abuse, therapist who abused also and toxic prescribed medications took me to hell on earth with few moments of heaven. I will share my life, my experiences and my studies and research.. I will talk to small circles and I will council ; as targeted parents , grandparents , aunts , uncles etc. , are denied contact with a child for reasons that serve the abuser ...further abusing the child. I grasp the trauma and I have looked at the lost connection to a higher power.. I grasp when one is accustomed to privilege, equality can feel like discrimination.. Shame and affluence silences a lot of facts , truths that have been labeled "negative". It is about liberation of the soul from projections of a alienator , and abuser ..
