And my children grew up with rockets regularly targeting us, and our home has sustained damage, and we have had friends killed. Yet my oldest has succeeded in gifted children's organisations her entire time at school.

And at the gifted children's organisations I've seen families who have it much harder than we ever did. Children in those families grew up to be resilient, face danger, and overcome obstacles direct and obstacles covert. Some of them with physical disabilities too.

Somebody is always suffering worse than we are.

I think you're misreading GP's point, which I think is probably also your point.

The comment they replied to was apparently suggesting that everyone struggles in some areas, so it's meaningless to highlight one group's struggle over another given that they all have reached a certain stable career.

GP main point (as I understand it) is: no, some people actually do struggle harder than others to make it.

I don't know why people get triggered and start comparing traumas but let's avoid doing it here.

Yes, I understood both their points. I added another data point for a struggle that I assume is not common for HNers, and demonstrated that people can overcome such a struggle.

I certainly don't want to compare traumas and I don't consider my family to be traumatised. I'm certain that some HNers could describe further personal experiences that they've overcome. Have we any Sudanese? People from east Ukraine? Yeminites?
