Employment, in general, doesn't line up with needing to be a full time caretaker for whoever. SWE is a curious exception, sometimes, in some companies, but the vast, vast majority of the workforce goes to a place to work, then hires a nurse/nanny/caretaker to fit their other obligations.
I also can't find in-office work here because there just aren't as many opportunities locally, so I work full time for minimum wage to scrape my bills. Then I code on the weekend.
No dignity lost, but certainly lost my faith in software leadership.
