I"m quite bothered. I am friends with another dancer in this town I live in that does not work with me at the club I work at. She and I have known eachother for five plus years.
Recently, she and her hubby split up-he had big issues-internet porn (not that there is anything wrong with that), but I'm talking like young girls (legal) but still young. Not being able to keep reality and fantasy separate-thinking women are all like what he sees in porn etc.
So, my friend tells me that he quit paying her support and now she is going to turn her two children over to the State welfare system because she feels that she can no longer care for them. I try and giver her suggestions, and she says that she can't keep up with the child care payments on top of the rent, and everything else, and she does have a regular job on top of dancing four nights per week.
This has been bothering me all day. I'm trying to understand this, but at the same time, I want to hit her upside the head.
Has anyone ever heard of a mother giving up her children on purpose?
I'm not even sure I can remain friends with her if she does this, I keep telling her that she is really messing with her kids' lives and that there are options, and she is so adament that there is no choice.
I don't understand this mentality of thinking.
Am I wrong for being upset with her?
