My best mate is a single mum, living on welfare trying to survive at her parents place. It's hell. It's even harder when people look at you and snipe about how you ought have used birth control... she was on the pill. Some luck that was. Baby daddy put his fist in her a few times with kid #2, so yea. Its rough. Also quite possibly the best abstinence programme availible, hanging with her.
I don't need some show to show me how tough it is, I just call her. But, the show seems alright.
