Mom? What's a difficult child?
It aint fun is it? They make you jump through hoops, they are trying to make people realize it is not a FREE ride... and not abuse the system.
I took the bus through some of the worse parts of SFO to get denied food stamps, get denied food... get denied anything... I made 30$ over the amount... I lived with 3 other people but could not afford college... But you know what? I had no car either, a tree fell on it! I had hookers and drug addicts hitting me up on every corner... but you know what I got to know them... and I became friends with them... and I gave a couple of bucks every couple of days... could I afford it? NO... did they like what they where doing? NO. Where they better then me? NO...
The whole situation made me realize I was so close to the bottom and I was no better than anyone and who was I to complain? I was asking for a handout, I would do whatever I could to better myself... I got a bike... from a second hand store, and biked my butt to interviews anywhere. I ended up working at a party supply store were the customers spoke mostly spanish! But you know what? I ended up loving it!!! I made 7$ an hour... was broke... but learned a lot. It got me out of the situation.
I am not saying you have to do the same thing, but you have to DIG deep and do things you never thought you would or could... you might be amazed!!!
I was!!!
I am not trying to make you feel bad I know you are struggling... and I wish things were easier for you but you have to keep fighting!!!
Hugs
