She was once engaged to be married to the man who fathered eight of her children, but he moved back to the east coast instead.
This is just disgusting. At least someone is paying child support.
We who don't like this situation ar trying to mention some choices that could be made. So maybe there is not public transportation. (there's not, I just checked)
But there are CHOICES she could have made and could be making that we wouldn't have to pay for by force. I for one would help her out, if I knew her, as a fellow Christian. One of those ways I would LIKE to counsel her about is sleeping with men and bearing their children without benefit of marriage.
Another would be about personal responsibility.
That being said, she's doing well with her children, it sounds like. She's not a worthless mom that doesn't care, like so many. I would like to help her, but not just to hand over money, but to give her a leg up and help her find self sufficiency.
