I did not have the money to move to a new town with 2 children in tow
A car is for transportation to work-if you can't pay for the repairs, even if you are working at a low page job, that is no solution
I had no money for training or for child care during training
Do not judge me by your experience, you may have had opportunities I did not
I blame the system that made it impossible to change my income
I went to school as an adult with no money for child care...I say now I'd sit on my welfare ass and take care of my children and not having them with no mother while I work at a low paying job and THEN going to school in the evening with no child care
Even my schooling did not get me into a living wage job
If this nation had a decent system like developed Europe maybe I could have made it.
I suppose being exposed to radiation by my country was my fault? I had no money to take care of that.
If enough "others" cared I would not have gone through what I did
Yes, I know there are people who care, it is damned hard to feel like they are the majority
I see the homeless every day on my way to work, where are the living wage jobs to pull them out of homelessness?
This concept that some people should lack basic human needs because they did not help themselves is ignorant of reality for many.
