Hello! I have a somewhat grim question, and I apologize in advance. Both of my parents were taken by cancer by the time I turned 19. I grew up extremely quickly after that, being in the middle of putting myself through college while taking max student loans to not let my family home get repossed by the bank and working a part time low paying job to make ends meet.
This caused me to age very quickly mentally, and I wasn't able to relate as easily to friends about things that mattered, or should have mattered to me for my age group.
Do you find yourself more mentally mature than your peers due to facing such hardship?
