I know many single parents and I'm from a single parent family myself.

That situation you outlined can't be helped, just as many people's situations can't be helped. But there are MANY people who have numerous children knowing they can't afford it because they're too righteous to have a termination and they were too careless to take precautions. Obviously mistakes happen, but not THAT many.

Don't twist my words. I never directed anything at Lolly or her personal situation. What I'm saying is that I'm not going to waste time feeling sorry for people.

Sympathy solves nothing.

You find me a situation were saying 'aww what a shame' or words to that effect solved a social problem and I'll apologise. Until then, I'm not going to feel sorry for anyone. I can simply suggest solutions, and people can shoot them down if they wish without trying, that's fine, makes no real difference to me, but don't shoot ME down just because I'm not willing to feel sorry for people.

Falls are part of life and sometimes you have to pick yourself up. I've been made redundant, didn't like it but all I could do was get up and try again. Nobody said it was meant to be easy. Most things in life are a struggle for us in Accrington, it comes with being from a poverty-stricken area and I don't know why anyone expects otherwise.
