Thank you. Honestly, though, the feeling I got from Casy was a specific belief that if a parent needs help, then they ought not have a child. And that really, really rubbed me the wrong way.
There's a really strong sentiment (mostly in the US) that anyone who needs help of any kind (healthcare, unemployment insurance, etc.) is a burden on society, and considering all the other stuff I've needed help for, I'm already dealing with a lot of crap on that issue. Getting it from someone I consider a friend really hurt.
