Susan
“I don't think anybody ever, wakes up one day and says, Ooh, I think I want to raise my kid to be on the system. I hope that (children) they're not ashamed of me. That's my greatest fear. That's probably why I didn't tell them I was coming here.”

Dianne
“I would get really sad, mostly at night. You are in this tent just thinking about your day and what your mom is going through. You could see it, you could feel it. It was heartbreaking.”

RJ and Mel
“It's like we don't even have time to really grieve properly…it just seems like one after another. Like we just don't even want to know after a weekend what's going on.”
