> The odds are super high I would have died young had I not made the choices I made.

Please explain.

A) I was seriously abused as a kid and was quite suicidal for years.

B) I have a deadly congenital condition which was not diagnosed until my mid thirties. Being a homemaker allowed me to take care of myself enough to not die in spite of not having a diagnosis.

Had I pursued a career, most likely I either would have committed suicide at a young age or died mysteriously of my undiagnosed disorder.
