Your story is what social assistance is there for. I don't mind paying taxes to help a guy that has medical problems, still tries his best and feels bad about his situation. You don't sound as if you expect the help but accept it because you're stuck in a bad place that's out of your control. What most of us resent is the lazy and the demanding types, the ones that can't hold down a job because they have to get up too early, it's too far away, they don't want to work nights, the boss is a jerk (they always are), it's too hot, too cold, too wet and the hours are too long. They don't want to work for "the MAN" to quote a lazy nephew who's never had a full time job in his entire adult life. They refuse to contribute and then criticise the rest of us for being that selfish with our money that we don't want to subsidise their life of video games, smoking weed and afternoon naps. Keep doing the best you can and if you're being honest about it, we're only to happy to help you out.

I guess she should have went to collect welfare when she got pregnant, told the father to get lost but pay support. Found another guy to get pregnant with. Tell him to get lost but pay support and increase her welfare payments. Just keep doing that until the womb dries up. The success of her story is that she made the right decisions in her life, even though she came from a life that history has shown is difficult to change. It's the story of millions of average Americans who do the simple things, every day, that make their lives better. THAT'S what makes this a story. A story that people, like you, will never understand or accept.
