Hello, this was sent to me on my main blog. Where I am collecting anecdotes of disabled old women being evicted from nursing home and hospice care.

    The most fucked up part of all of this is that we’re discussing nursing homes like it’s fucking normal to lock up your own goddamn family in a strange place full of horrifying abuse at the end of their lives.

    This is a uniquely American brain rot that has spread worldwide. Capitalism has eroded the family dynamic so badly that we discard our elderly like trash and kick kids out at 18.

    This is not normal in the entire rest of the world.

      This is true. So much of the “assault on the nuclear family” , it’s really just based in it being incredibly impractical and bad for virtually everyone involved.
