Don’t let these people get under your skin. I always find it fascinating to listen to their experiences. I must have been one dumb woman because I never saw one penny from my husband after he left me for a younger woman, she was 22 and I was 32. I raised our 4 children by myself, worked 40 to 60 hours a week , and sent them all to private school. We did without heat, food, and a car but we made it. Some of us women have known our share of hardship.
And you are a conservative on FR...well God Bless you! A bouquet of daisies to ya and an atta girl for your fine work as a mom!
Congratulations on making it through those times, and your children no doubt learned a great deal about hard work and sacrifice.
