(49,975 posts)It is hard to convey to someone who hasn't been there what it is like living like that day after day and in my case I had children. The fear of being homeless was so oppressive and I came so close many times. It really does a number on your self esteem as you begin to believe you aren't worthy of more.
Of course, things have gotten better, but that cloud seems to always remain over my head. You never forget.
I was a huge supporter of Joe Biden long before he ran for president and when he won, it was like a dream come true. As a president, he is everything I hoped he would be and much, much more. It is such a thrill to come to DU and see so many people singing his praises on a daily basis. There was a time when it was only a small handful of us and most of us are still in touch with one another outside DU.
