I can most definatly see your point Secret Method, and I understand why the money is a good thing for her and the childs benefit. I understand that everyone thinks welfare isn't a way to live, but when it's all you have...it's all you have. I'd rather see her living on welfare and that child have a chance at life then no chance at all. I also believe that this should just be a 'keep me going' type of thing, not permenant. As victor already said, she's already in college, she graduated high school, and is keeping good grades.
I also never said he did anything he shouldn't have, but pointed out that there was plenty of time before this to 'nip it in the bud', not that he never spent time with her, but that he didn't spend the right time with her and prevented her from being with all these 'gang' crowds in the first place. Hind sight is 20/20.
I don't even know if these remarks were meant for me, but I can see them relating, and just had to verify that I wasn't insulting or implying anything was right or wrong, just that it could have gone many other ways and still can.
