The last few days have been a challenge, but also an important time of lessons and reflection. Thomas and I have been on this path, trying to help him make more money for years now and we are both exhausted. The hard truth of it is, it's nearly impossible (and has been impossible for us) to figure out how to live on just his income. We were homeless before my grandparents let us move in so we wouldn't have to worry about rent. If we are going to find a way through this and find any grace or dignity for our future, I have to make money too.
