on the edge: Family Homelessness in America

[@angelajames3155]

It is a pity that there are no fathers involved in saving the families they created....

I hope that they're all doing well.

What about building a community of tiny homes? Those homes are getting pretty popular. I know of a community where I used to live that is doing this for the homeless so they can get off the street and have an address so they can get a job. It also helps them save up the money to move from the tiny home into an apartment or a house.

Some places are trying that. It's not for every family. I live in a van and know the challenges of living small, and I don't have kids and pets, and I do have resources and options. But communities--with sensible structure and opportunities to develop as humans (what we all should be given)--could be good for some. We just need to avoid the one-size-fits-all approaches. Among other pitfalls.

If I was a female, I'm not coming off birth control until I meet a dude with an established career, money in the bank and a house paid for, just having unprotected sex with random guys who can't do shit for you is brainless to me. Homegirl made me laugh when she said her mum wouldn't take in her 7 kids, I can't blame the mother, who wants the headache of having to deal with 7 kids.

If people could control what happens to them this world might be a better place. They can't, despite best efforts. Don't jump on an unenlightened bandwagon.

[@pimpgreen8989]

I can understand people can't control when they get hit by lightning, but controlling the use of sexual protection shouldn't be to hard.

[@DianeNilanHEARUS]

Silly man. Access to birth control-do your research. And sexual assaulters, usually without protection. And so much more you may not understand.

[@pimpgreen8989]

Research done - condoms are available at the corner store, and if you do get sexual assaulted, ever heard of an abortion, yeah excuses for having multiple children and broke are running low dear.

It breaks my heart ❤️ because l've been there more then once because l've come from a single mother whose young uneducated and impoverished. And a father whom was lazy feeling entitled and unambiguous. I wish l have never been born to go through such heart wrenching pain and suffering.

[@hearus1homeless]

It takes a lot to get out of this track. I'm sure you would rather not have to continue in this brutal way of living. See if you can find a mentor, or someone to encourage you in whatever it takes to move away from such suffering. It's hard to realize, but you learn much from these experiences, and you have much to offer. Good luck!

Excellent documentary. All the women have terrible stories, and it’s not their fault.

[@daidai8129]

On all of these documentaries everyone everyone just hates the people with kids thats homeless like people that have a stable life and a home cant become homeless. Stop picking who you want to judge. Like seriously out of ALL PEOPLE yall judge homeless people with kids. Studies show that even rich people ABORT because they dont CARE to raise kids and people judge the less fortunate because they have kids and give their kids things money CANT buy. Like seriously you guys SHUT UP‼️😒
