    Thumbs up Well I am shocked

    Well I just got a visit from someone I have known for almost 9 years. She just told me she has her first job..... She's 37 yo. I figured she would never have a job. She has never surported herself or her children. always liived off the state. She has 3 boys. The oldest is 17 and the youngest will be 9 in 2 days. She is so happy its unreal. I guess some things can happen.

    Yes I'm out of my mind. It's a dark and scary place in there.

    Good for her. It must be very scary for her. That is something though never having worked. I am sure this is a positive step in her future.

    Hope this is the first step towards her independence and a bright future. Wishing her well, good self esteem can move mountains.

    She never stayed at home.......... before she got the job she was living in her car. Cause she had burned to many people.......... She is living with her grandmother now but paying rent and buying her own food. Its the boys I felt sorry for.......... So far so good.
