Hi all, something sparked by a thread about a handicapped woman stuck in an abusive relationship by what I can only imagine largely is related to income made me think.
What about a few people with MS hooking up and renting a modest apartment together? Not that we want roommates necessarily but even a meager disability check if multiplied by 4 in my area would result in only about $300 a month for an apartment in a decent area. Nothing fancy but far better than living with an abuser. Even things like doctors visits could be combined to share cab fare etc. In addition to help with the bills the social aspect could be beneficial also.
I have often wondered with single Mothers also why they didn't co-habitate, work different shifts and share child care costs in an effort to make ends meet while providing excellent in home care for their children.
I'm not saying this is ideal but sometimes life throws things our way that force us to adapt.
