[quote=Anonymous]Arlington native. I’m 39 and my sister and I were raised by a single mom when she got divorced in 1998. Even before that she had little support. The crazy part is that my mom worked minimum wage jobs most of her life. When she retired this year she was making $18/hr working at a hotel. I don’t know how she did it. She never got child support or alimony. We lived in various low income housing and I joined the military at 18. Later I helped her but she never needed me to for her basic cost of living. God bless this woman’s ability to make ends meet and never show frustration. We didn’t have nice things but I never went without a healthy meal at least once a day or clean clothes. [/quote]
