Why do some of us women feel like we have to resscue the world, while others can sit back and say, "Not my problem"?

Sugaree, I'm sorry you've found yourself in this situation. You are the mother bear wanting t hlep your little cubs.

Questions to consider:

Where is the father of the first two children?
Where are their grandparents?
Where are her parents?
Why are you the one to have to provide?
Can you seek guidance from a minister or social worker?

It seems like you are taking the brunt of other's irresponsibility.

I appreciate your thoughts on being a good influence on this young woman and her children. That may be the right attitude to take, but if that's the case you need to guide her and give her advice that will steer her in the right direction.

How's your son holding up?
How's your daughter?
How are you?
