[quote=Anonymous]I'm a single mom to one child and my mom was a single mom to two kids. I have realized how much of a badass she was back in a time when people still shunned women who were divorced. My brother and I weren't allowed to go to Sunday school at our church because my mom was divorced. This was back in the early 80s. Back then, it wasn't a thing to have child support taken out of parent's paychecks so she basically had to beg my dad for the money he owed. She said she had had enough so she went to my dad's father and told him that my dad wasn't paying child support even though he could clearly afford it (he was an accountant). So I learned that you will do anything for your kids, even though it might be embarrassing or something you thought you would never do.[/quote]
