I was pulled out of class in third grade with no idea what happened. Kids chided me about going to the Principal’s office. Two people whom I didn’t know asked me questions about my family. The allegations made me furious. As an adult, I finally know the reason. I hate this person to this day.

I’m happy to be a stay at home mom, but without work, I have no insurance. I could buy it for $350 a month or if we were married, I could get it through Kurt. Thankfully, it’s only $50 annually for a single doctor visit, but today I had a prescription filled that’s $243.00 monthly.
