What was that like for you growing up?
Is there anything though that you felt like there were, I know you're saying like, oh, you kind of didn't have to do anything.

That's also a very, I think, interesting theme in a lot of people's life is like feeling like if there's someone in your family that's really going through it, then you kind of have to then your problems aren't as big as theirs.
And I know you have talked about kind of like the struggles that your mom went through mental health wise and with substance use.
