That's how it went for me. My sister got divorced and I know exactly why. I told her, "I know our family isn't Republican and you're not Republican and I'm not Republican*, but you'll be a lot more secure if your next marriage is to a Republican." Basically advocating a keep-his-balls-empty-and-his-stomach-full route.

Me and my parents are stuck helping pick up the pieces of her divorce and none of us can babysit her anymore - she's depleting the hell out of the last of my parent's resources.

As for me, the parent's philosophy had a lot more male-disposability about it. I got less attention and less access to resources that would have helped me to better compete. I divorced my parents off and on in my adult life and also lived out of my car off and on as I needed to because I couldn't deal with roommates. All roommates inevitably have "women" in tow which is a ticket to misery especially if you're blue pill and don't have any idea about female nature. Get a male roommate and he'll bring over a woman; get a female roommate and she'll take a dump in your living room or something. I've dodged a whole lot of bullets compared to other guys my age. I've never been married and I don't have any kids. Women have had very limited impact on my life other than bouts of feeling lonely without them - which I'm dealing with a lot better now.

Now that I've found "MGTOW," I've been able to retrofit my life experience into manospherian lingo and I'm wondering what to do and where to go with my future. Anyway, I'm curious about other guys' family upbringing experiences. Did you feel shackled while your sister was promoted? Did your sister's promotion pan out or did it end up in an all-too-predictable divorce?

*Now I'm Libertarian. And my sister is currently dating a gun-toting Republican. He's kind of an alpha among beta providers.
