Hi Michelle—thanks for writing this. It is exceedingly thoughtful, compelling, and thorough.
Our kid is 28* - so almost everything we went through was before EA (and before we met Jason Gaverick Matheny). We met at an animal rights group I was running, and we went on to found several animal-focused charities (including One Step for Animals).
One of the reasons I wrote Losing My Religionslast year (and have made the eBook free) was to give people an opportunity to live that process and understand the various pressures biology, family, and society place on us. (I also write about a friend, an EA here on this board, who has recently gone through some of the things I experienced.)
Like your great post, I hope LMR provides people some help.
*Kid is finishing up a PhD in Econ based in part on 80,000 Hours recommendation (but mostly Gaverick).
