You know as well as I do I have lived through much of this stuff. Drug addiction, welfare, hood life bullshit.
It's funny you mention eldest of 9, I just stopped dating a girl with 9 kids and 3 baby daddies. If you want out only you can make it happen. I'm only able to be stable and have an income today because of good decisions I made in the past. I was only afforded the oppurtunity to make those decisions because of the hard work I put in. I got out nce by basically being homeless and living in my car. There are always options. It's a constant up hill battle.....
