[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thank you to everyone who has shared their stories. They are heartbreaking. I'm curious how you all were able yo break the cycle? How were you able to make better choices?[/quote] NP here. It really is amazing. I worked in social services for the state. There truly is a culture of poverty in that adult children expect to be able to live off the government (in poverty because 'welfare' is nothing near livable) because that's how their parents and grandparents live. I had a mom once explain that her son is an adult now, so she expects him to provide for himself...which is why she brought him down to the food stamp office to get his OWN damn food stamps. A young pregnant girl once said, when asked if she had daycare arrangements, "what do you mean, daycare? I'm not going to work when the baby is born. My mom never worked and she's fine." [/quote]
