Elizabeth,
What an awesome story. You are still very young, and to be commended for your strength. I was nearly 40 years old before I climbed out of that poverty rut. I don't regret staying home with my first three children, however I do regret that they grew up with nothing. Poverty is but doesn't have to be a tragic thing. That is what I try to pass on, that there is life after poverty, and anything you can grasp, you can go for. BRING IT ON BABY!
You are one awesome chickadee, and you have set a great example for your daughter.
