I mean.......life was better before trump, but, I'm 42 and can't say life has ever been "good".

Like, I have no first hand experience with what happyness feels like.

Chronic depression? Missing childhood?

I grew up poor in an Eastern European country and I still remember happiness. In my childhood and in high school. Middle school not so much, I was bullied then.

Age is 30.

My childhood was spent raising my dad. Who despite being in his 30s, acted like an infant.

He always wanted his bottle (booze).

He had to be made sure he went to bed on time, or he'd be cranky.

Needed to be meal prepped.

I'm just glad he didn't need a diaper.

Yeah I don't think you not remembering happiness has anything to do with the world being fucked up, it's your dad that's to blame.

I'm sorry this is how you grew up. Nobody deserves this.
