Scenario

When working to afford your child's needs means being absent for them

I work overtime every week to pay for my daughter's therapy but I am never home to actually parent her, and I wonder if the money I spend fixing her problems is creating them in the first place.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

The cruel irony of economic survival requiring absence exactly when presence is most needed creates a cycle of guilt and practical impossibility.
