This, is really, very, AWFUL! When a child is the only thing that keeps a family together, then, if something were to happen to the child, then, the entire family unit crumbles down, shatters, and gets, destroyed.
When a child is the only thing that keeps a family together, that’s not how it should be, the parents ARE supposed to be the ones making the household harmonious, but, they don’t, sometimes, they can’t even, handle themselves well enough, so, it’s up to us, their young, to take over.
like this??? Not my illustration…
And yet, by taking over the responsibilities of the burdens of a family unit’s emotions, the child grows up too fast, and life became, too hard for her/him.
When a child is the only thing that keeps a family together, then, everybody ELSE (except for the child!) should get SHOT, because the parents couldn’t do what they’re supposed to, to protect their own young, so they can, grow up, without any fears, worries, or any hardships in their young lives, and yet, these adults called “parents”, they can’t even, fully function as whole individuals, how can you expect them, to take care of anything, let alone, us, their young? So naturally, we the children, we all, grow up too fast, ‘cuz we don’t have a choice, it’s either this, or that we get murdered!!!
or this??? 
and guess who’s gonna SANP, in this tug-of-war??? not my photo…
