My cousin's words made me rethink why I left Venezuela after 3 years here

I was talking to my cousin in Caracas on the phone last night. She said "you think you escaped but you just traded one kind of struggle for another." At first I got defensive but then I sat with it for a few hours. She meant I left because of violence and no food but now I'm in a new country dealing with loneliness and paperwork that never ends. Has anyone else had a family member back home say something that hit you different than you expected?
