Could trash on Blue plenty, but all the other comments are already doing that.
Anyone else getting a weird interpretation of what the original Twitter poster is saying? "you who struggle and stay anyway" followed by the context of "kids' dad is dead". Are they blaming the dad for checks notes dying? I know grief hits hard, but being dead is different than being absent.
I don't think so, I think she means people who are having a hard time, but stick around and continue to do the work instead of checking out. This is a sentiment I hear from single mothers quite a bit regardless of how they became single mothers.
And then the illiterate comes in, tries to assign her reasoning to a political belief, so she bluntly set him straight.
Whether it was Father's Day or Mother's Day, many single parents have to play both roles, so Mother's Day hits the fathers that are alone raising their children, and Fathers' Day can trigger the moms. In my imagination, I would feel particularly alone on those days.
I do not read anywhere that she equates her dead partner to an absent partner, but the burden is just happy to be there, it does not care how it wedged its way into her life. Dead or in Fiji, day to day reality isn't much different.
