They now have expensive college loans to repay and the same job prospects they did as a high school junior.

        Help you understand. Make new attainable goals. Find some peace. Change your mindset. Therapists aren’t wizards, just like doctors don’t just make ailments like cancer just go away. They help us heal as much as we can and then treat whatever symptoms linger. We do as much good as we can. I’m sorry society did this to you and to us.
