Terry's husband was a loser.

Terry picked the wrong dude. In the USA, it's considered the woman's fault for picking wrong, not the dude' fault for being a loser. Working hard by itself isn't enough. You have to be able to save and invest.

@BadNewsfor154 This story started DECADES ago when single income families and teen marriages were normal. She was from a traditional family and brought up to accept the wife role. Yes, it's a bad idea for a woman to rely on a husband's income. It's better for a woman to make, save and invest her own money (and be called an absentee mother) than to risk relying on a man (and be called a lazy welfare queen if he fails to provide).

@BadNewsfor154 Was your mother from a traditional background where a woman's choices were either wife or nun?

@BadNewsfor154 Don't you understand this is " same planet different worlds? 😂 The white lady in the documentary is from a traditional, Catholic family. The "right" thing she was taught to do was to be a wife and mother. Or else a nun. She wasn't taught to be a career woman, not settle for a man making less than 6 figures, and get a pre-nup! The black lady in the documentary was far more "fake it til you make it" and risk taking, but luckily she had a husband that stuck around to take care of her.

@BadNewsfor154 Well, what's your point, then? That Terry should have been psychic and not done what she was trained to do?
