Well, you can hardly leave it at that, Pinto Bean. We need to know more to make some sort of suggestion. Why was mom so poor? Husband leave her? Mental illness? Substance abuse? All of the above? Oh, and welcome! Stick around, you'll like it here. Or, someone will mortally insult you and you'll never come back--it's always one or the other.
