I have never received a dime of support from family, so I’m hell bent on getting her every advantage possible.

I feel that. My parents ruined their finances and have been unable to support me in adulthood, so I make sure I set aside money for my kids and set them up to have options when they're adults

Before I even left home my father was unable to open a bank account due to bouncing checks. Four of us shared a pay by the week motel room for housing. At 17 I went out on my own and made something of myself. My father is a far-right Republican and so are my siblings... Me? Fuck the owner class. Who owns two homes though? My hypocrisy.
