Interestingly, ALL the comments here are about how bad it is, because, apparently, "NO MONEY = NO HAPPINESS".
Yet I've been blessed to live in several countries, and can speak from experience that most poor families I've seen are on average more happy than most rich families, in both US and Eastern Europe. They only think that they are unhappy, because of the constant struggle with money, but I've seen many lives of people to think otherwise.
So I'm not that pitiful towards the author. Their parents didn't have mental health issues, no one got killed or injured, so I'd say they lived mostly happy life, comparing to others.
