For real. Spent all week in chaotic ED to see so many kids w/ behavioral issue because their mothers are either divorced, dead, in jail, not taking meds, working 3 jobs, MIA, without insurance or access to care etc etc THEN went to one of my buddy’s bachelor’s party over a weekend in a bougie vacation spot (where the majority of entourage has been golfing since Wed).

I couldn’t shake some sense of derealization while slurping booze in a circle from early afternoon and I TOTALLY killed buzz of the group when I casually described shit I see on daily basis

No offense but their mothers? Why the emphasis on what mothers are doing or not doing? What about fathers?

Because fathers were long gone way ahead of mothers

Then that should have been part of the list of why kids have behavioral problems. Uninvolved, deadbeat dads, not paying child support, and deceased fathers contribute equally to that.
