I feel this so deeply. As a newly divorced mom of three at the age of 51, I am learning exactly how hard it is to find economic stability after staying home for almost twenty years. I feel totally blindsided, having had so much faith in a system that ultimately didn’t work out for me when my husband decided he wanted something else. I tell my 21YO daughter and her friends all the time - think very hard about what you wants vs what society expects from you and just know having it all does not mean you get to have it all at the same time.
