This is one of the best things I have read on social media, not just substack, any social media. ALL young women should read this.

It is imperative for young minority women, and depressing how much overlap we have.

Labor digging indeed; and not a bit of it appreciated no matter how much it's desperately wanted and needed.

In my case, my former burden can't do anything without me, and somehow that's my fault. Go figure.

Fantastic work ! Thank you for putting a name to what I endured with my now ex. I used to quip that the nicest thing he did for me and the kids was leave. My friends said I wouldn’t miss much since I did most of the work and did all the children’s activities with them.

So true, and very well said!

I hope this inspires people in (or considering) a relationship, lots to think about and talk about with each other.

And it’s extra awesome that you back up the stats with the sources.
