Friends and neighbors often lend the same sort of helping hand. So do strangers. It seems that you trust neither the government nor the family of this woman (who was once a "distant part" of your life) to discern what level of assistance she might need. Your opinion of this person is based on a dated and distant relationship and a scrap of FB exchange. I can only hope that those who recognize themselves as targets of The Squeaky Pen will do as I have: smile and ponder some alternative adjectives.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7334687599004214919.post-54830228559020216852012-07-15T15:01:57.192-04:002012-07-15T15:01:57.192-04:00And where on this blog do you read I said we are a...And where on this blog do you read I said we are all one family, no one should be without, no child left behind, and The Great Society? Don't put words in my mouth that didn't come out in the first place. As for "the point, as usual," that I'm the best judge, this blog happens to contain my opinions. I have never said I'm the best judge of anything; once again, some bitter soul mouthing off behind an anonymous veil. Maybe you should go read a poetry blog with vague and probably pointless commentary about hooting birds.<br /><br />I will say here, for the record, that IN MY OPINION it does take a village to raise a child. That's what my family did when push came to shove. Too bad you didn't have a caring "village" when you were growing up. If you had, maybe you wouldn't be so angry about the world.Kathleen Yasashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03258784164001619756noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7334687599004214919.post-81667592591287560642012-07-15T13:44:35.090-04:002012-07-15T13:44:35.090-04:00"we are all one family"

He counted on his family, who came through, and dealt with his emotioanl/mental issues while working, ultimately getting his kids back.
