    Man, it is very rare to want a greentext to be real as much as I want this one to be. I’m going to pretend it is, even if it isn’t. Because holy fuck, does the world need people like that.

    Seriously, the hero we need.

    Education has been the genuine orphancrushingmachine for decades, it’s just the way the system is designed.

      Man. I’m a single mom. It be like that sometimes.

      Not the whole “you need a man around”-thing. It’s a single-parent thing. It’s hard as fuck to do all the work yourself and not have someone to help out when you may be at your limit.

      Not to mention single-parent households deal more with poverty, housing insecurity, poor mental health, overworking, etc.

      I watched it happen to a lot of my friends growing up. It’s fucking rough.

      It’s not every case, but it can be a lot.
