it could always be worse
my mother divorced my dad because "I didn't get what I wanted in life" and she went back to school at 54 to get a degree in.... sociology.... and she tries to chat to me relentlessly about her classmates and the teacher and her schoolwork like a dumb teenager, and naively talks about how she is gonna graduate and find some office job and "start her career" as if this is the 1980s and all those jobs havent been given to india and all you need to do for some easy high paying job to fall on your lap is be a mediocre college student from a mediocre school
