I really hate these CBC articles where they talk about a huge, legitimate issue, but undercut it by choosing a crazy/unrelated example
So a Woman is forced to sell her home in a divorce, and to ensure her children don't get upended in a very difficult part of their lives, sacrifices every cent she makes to stay in the same area for them and you think that is an "unrelated example"?
Even 30 years ago, I had friends who had to change schools/share a room when their parents divorced. Putting someone who refuses to make tough decisions and try live within her means in the same category as adults who have to live with multiple roommates, face homelessness, etc. is insulting.
What is insulting is your complete lack of empathy for your "friends" who were forced into that growing up, and your attack on this Woman for not putting her children through that.
Also, I’m pretty sure most would say child support is income, even if it’s not taxable income. She’s spending 100% of her employment income/paycheques on rent.
Yes, and 100% of that support is supposed to go to the children it is paid to. Not for her to use on other things.
In case it isn't clear, your comment is absolutely disgusting and tone deaf. You should reflect on why you feel the need to attack people who are struggling when it is clear to me from your lack of empathy you have no idea what a real struggle looks like.
