RE: The High Costs of Being a Single Mother in America

in #life7 years ago

It's a tough, tough life... especially here in the US of A. My mom was a single mom, but at the time we lived in Denmark where social services and support are at a completely different level.

Thank you for your courage and hard work... and for raising what will undoubtedly be awesome boys, in spite of what is a great deal of hardship.

I have heard rumors about the stellar services in Denmark, it's good to know it is based on fact!

Thank you so much, I appreciate this <3

I have always wondered how american single mothers survive this cruel system in the USA. A nation that receives tax money should first of all protect their offspring being the leaders of the nation in the future.
Single mom here, in some European countries, have not a perfect situation but we know that our housing is secure and we have enough money for food, cloth and schooling.
It saddens me deeply to know that so much potential and talent is being wasted and mothers are pushed into such terrible circumstances. - How can it be changed?

I am afraid it will take a great effort. Even just changing the mindsets of the people is long and difficult work when you are bombarded by the media...
