there are people in the quotes bragging about how "working class" us americans in thailand have their own gated communities and schools and can live like kings and queens on the back of the local population and all they needed was the correct visa. you are not mad enough.

I strongly agree with this. Many people end up scared of emotions (and scared of their kids' emotions) because they've internalized that feelings are like weather: beyond our control, something we just have to endure
One of the most powerful things you can do as a parent is to reject that frame.
Emotions are fleeting and easily changed.
With older kids, emotional validation is often a silver bullet.
With young kids, it's even easier. (This old video of my son makes my laugh every time.)
Shocked at this video of Chris Barber with his kid because the kid goes through the emotion SO FAST. About as fast as I do since I started feeling lol. And it sparked this hypothesis: perhaps people are terrified of emotions because, somewhere in the dynasty, for some reason, someone didn't have the skills/context/privilege necessary to process something *fast*. So the idea was ingrained that when emotions come they stay a looooooooooong time. And if that is the case then any negative emotion is EXTREMELY BAD because it stays for soooooooo long. This would lead not just to you being avoidant of your own emotions but being avoidant of others' including your kids', hence replicating the pattern in a self-fulfilling prophecy sort of way! They don't get the necessary support to go through them quickly so they DO indeed take a long time to get over and thus having negative emotions IS indeed extremely bad!

“Nobody is coming to save you” but your day literally gets better after you consume art made by other people. You hang w friends & you’re no longer suicidal, even if just for a few minutes. They’re lying to you about the significance of community. People are saving you EVERYDAY!
