As the birth rate continues to decline, many families have no children, or only have one child at most, but the future financial burden will fall entirely on the children. An only child cried and complained that she had to take care of her disabled parents and had to put all her dreams aside. As a result, she was exhausted both physically and mentally, and she unconsciously had pessimistic thoughts.

The original PO revealed on the “Anonymous Commune” APP that as the only daughter in the family, because her parents are both disabled and illiterate, she has had to deal with big and small things since she was a child. She is not used to crying in pain, but she is also very tired after a long time. , although I long for freedom and want to leave home, I have to stay at home to take care of my parents who are nearly seventy years old. She admitted that she had reached the marriageable age and had the idea of ​​​​getting married, but the reality did not allow it. One person could not run back and forth between two families.

Recalling that she was ill and had surgery a few years ago, the original PO did not dare to tell her parents and lied that she was on a business trip for the company. At that time, she was admitted to the hospital and was asked if she would be accompanied by her family members during the surgery. At that moment, she came up with the idea of ​​having an accident during the surgery. After all, the insurance was not cheap. It was difficult to find short-term hospital care, and she had to do everything by herself. Seeing a family member taking care of her in the bed next to her made her envious.

The original PO believes that family is a shackles for her. Even though she is very tired, she can only endure it silently. Sometimes she wishes she had not come to this world, and even wishes her parents could leave early. “The pain and sadness are temporary, but It’s a lifelong relief for me…” The topic changed and I complained about my grandpa. I thought it would be better for two identical people to be together, but I didn’t expect that the next generation would suffer.
