So a Woman is forced to sell her home in a divorce, and to ensure her children don't get upended in a very difficult part of their lives, sacrifices every cent she makes to stay in the same area for them and you think that is an "unrelated example"?
What is insulting is your complete lack of empathy for your "friends" who were forced into that growing up, and your attack on this Woman for not putting her children through that.
Yes, and 100% of that support is supposed to go to the children it is paid to. Not for her to use on other things.
In case it isn't clear, your comment is absolutely disgusting and tone deaf. You should reflect on why you feel the need to attack people who are struggling when it is clear to me from your lack of empathy you have no idea what a real struggle looks like.
You make a lot of assumptions about me and my experiences, and frankly, they're 100% wrong. I wasn't trying to insinuated that her situation is easy, I even say it's "making tough decisions".
When one refuses to speak, the other is forced to make assumptions. Frankly, I don't care if you say I am wrong. I can read, I have heard these words from others, and know who I am dealing with.
I would bet 3:1 that you have nothing serious in your past that you could prove to me. I would bet 100:1 that I could not prove my bullshit life to you and I lived it. Get the point?
I don't think you will, so the point is, you attacked a person for being a bad example because they are struggling and not at rock bottom because people exist at the bottom.
If you had ever been there you would know better, so I stand by my assessment. Don't bother responding, I won't waste further time with you.
Stay well.
That's not my intentions. I question her choices, but that doesn't mean she has an option that would 100% fix her situation. It would probably be hard to find a 2-bedroom for $1500/mo and she'd still have over 50% of her paycheque going to housing.
My concern is articles highlighting cases like this allow people to disregard the housing crisis as just people unwilling to tighten their belts. Like "stop eating avocado toast" or "cancel Disney+", there's no quick fix.
