The trouble is that stupid people are way harder to predict than smart people. Like I work with a lot of very smart, hard-working people. It's pretty easy to figure out what they'll do. My dumbass cousin? Dude's a loose cannon, I got no idea.
I really feel for her. She will have challenges and heartbreak. But as long as she keeps moving forward and seeks/gets a good support network, she can raise herself and her son into people that she can be proud of.
