How families cope when industrial jobs disappear

Our family moved to a small town after my dad's factory closed and we're all pretending we're fine but we're not - mom works three part-time jobs now, my sister dropped out of college, and we keep snapping at each other instead of talking about how scared we are. We used to be close but now it feels like we're all just surviving separately under the same roof.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Economic displacement has fractured the family's connection to each other and their sense of shared future.
