When my kids were in high school one of their friends was being treated terribly by his single mother, and one day she decided to make him pay rent or leave and live on the street. He had an afterschool job stocking the shelves at a grocery store at night that paid a small amount of money, (all of which he was saving in order that he might go to college). His father abandoned their family and was nowhere to be found, and if he were to pay the exorbitant amount of rent money that she was demanding, it would have taken most every penny that he was earning and he would not have been able to attend college . . . https://www.wordsfortheday.com/index.php/2022/02/reminders-everywhere-2/
