I asked what you all thought would be scarier, being homeless or young & pregnant. 99% of you said homeless. Now suppose a young girl was in that "scary" homeless predicament, but dug herself out of it in a relatively short period of time, by working hard, being innovative, budgeting, reading up on budgeting & personal finances, and really turned her life around in about a year? And suppose this same self-sufficient hard worker then got pregnant(unmarried)? Do you think she would be most likely very capable of taking care of a baby, since she'd obviously faced & conquered bigger obstacles before? Or, do you think her homeless experiences would deem her to be "worse" than most other moms-to-be, since perhaps her homeless experiences might have psychologically scarred her a little? Or perhaps if she became homeless before, maybe she's more prone to become homeless again?
Either way, how do you think one's past homeless experience(s) affects how capable of a parent/provider she might be?
