When I walked out on my child abusing husband, with $4.00, there were No safety nets, my parents watched my boys while I woirked for $1.50 a hr waiting tables, my HS dipoloma was useless, out moded. I found a $65 run down place, paid utilities, did laundry, mowed the grass. Put up plastic sheeting on windows in the winter. Did that for 10 yrs. Cooked, sewed, used rummage sales. Took my non driving mom shopping which my dad hated, helped her in her garden.. You did what needed to be done.
