Social family problem

n Japan there is one social problem related to family members that a son or a daughter is unable to be independent from their parents even after becoming over 30. Since this issue became widespread, 20 years have had passed without being solved. Thus we named this social problem the “80/50 issue” , each number indicates parents and their children.

 

Most people may criticize or blame it for just family problem like such children must have grown up without any hardships guided by indulgent parents. However, the truth is that this family issue is deeply associated with the outside society like the man being fired by the company that triggered him to be confined inside the house. 

 

In my case fortunately I am not such type but in the past when I had a serious mental problem, I used to have a pessimistic outlook about the future that I and my family may become like what we say now “80/50 issue”

 

Therefore I cannot take this issue as “none of my business” but I feel very sorry for those who are suffering right now and trying to think about what I can do for them.

 

One suggestion for a man who had trauma in his past and cannot make one step for the future is that man can change his personal character and change his lifestyle anytime once you have the will.

 

In my case I had slow but steady recovery from my mental problem with one slogan I have always cherished that “small step or small new challenge will accumulate to the big leap as long as one always keeps moving”.
