Gen X female, I feel like I never fit in. Family and school friends. I never had tons of friends. I also never did "girly" things, I spent the big part of my life trying to find happiness and literally telling my son that I missed something but could not find what it was. I grew up republican, strong work ethic and followed the rules but questioned everything. A boyfriend in the early 90's joined the Masons and I knew then that was bad and we didn't last. I left a factory job in 2015 and started my own business, I slowly realized the 40+ work week that I thought was normal is not. Especially seeing the downfall of the family unit through the black communities and just government programs in general. College stole my son and turned him into a hard core liberal, I hate that but he's not ready yet. I can't wait for his turn to wake up. My current husband is very supportive of me but calls me crazy. He does listen to me more than in the past so I use that to see where we are.
