Today's OneWord: Welfare
They told her that she didn't deserve to stay on welfare, and they told me that I ought to take her in and make an honest woman out of her. After all, I had both the money and the connections - may as well as put her through some sort of "rehabilitation," right? But the truth was, she didn't need me, and I didn't need her. She could manage just fine with the scraps of government aid she received, and in the meantime, she was too proud - too headstrong, justifiably so - to ask for any sort of alms from a more financially successful person.
