Reply #3: yes, my childhood was exactly like Dennis Kucinich's...10 sibblings & [View All]

we were homeless many times until the age of 9 when i was put in a Catholic orphanage and i refused to be adopted and told this to all prospective people who took me home on weekends to try me on for size. i would tell them, " i don't need parents because i had a family but because we were poor they separated me from them" i drove the nuns crazy! and i spent 7 years away from my mother and sibblings. i will never forgive the "system" for what they did to me and my family.

as a child sometimes my mom and us kids slept in churches and parks in the 50's....we were happy and loved each other very much ...yes happyniess can be had in poverty as long as you are together as a family...the tragedy came when good intended people did the wrong thing!
