My girlfriend is complaining her parents didn’t give her a materially good childhood where she could study art and resulted in her unfortunate life right now. That her father didn’t have money and resulted in her not being able to get good education

Dear User, thank you for sharing your concern about your girlfriend's complaints regarding her childhood. It is understandable that she may feel frustrated and disappointed about not being able to pursue her passion for art due to financial constraints during her childhood. It is natural to feel a sense of loss or regret for the experiences that we were unable to have growing up. It sounds like your girlfriend may still be carrying some of those feelings with her into her current life. From a Buddhist perspective, it is important to recognize that our past experiences and circumstances do not define us. We all have the potential to change and grow, regardless of our past. The teachings of impermanence and non-self remind us that we are not limited by our past, and that we have the power to create our own future. From a psychological perspective, it can be helpful to explore how these past experiences may be impacting your girlfriend's current thoughts and behaviors. Is she holding herself back from pursuing her passions now because of the belief that she is not good enough or that it's too late to start? As a coach, I would recommend encouraging your girlfriend to explore her current interests and passions, and to focus on what she can do now to pursue those interests. It's never too late to start learning or creating. Help her to reframe her past experiences as opportunities for growth and learning, rather than limitations. Encourage her to focus on what she can control and to take small steps towards her goals. By taking action towards her passions, she can build confidence and a sense of purpose, which can help to counteract any negative beliefs she may be holding onto from her past.
