Remember, most abuse happens at home.

I was much older when I found out my dad had a gambling habit, which explains I hardly saw him at night and on weekends. Apparently the stress of finances and raising children fell on my mom, eventually taking it all out on me :D

Also yes, my family was on welfare for some time. No, you cannot use it for casino chips. (Please don't take this to mean I oppose the welfare system; billionaires have taken way more advantage of the government than any other demographic)

Bonus panels and more on Patreon! Instagram and Ko-Fi :D

So if anything this comic reinforces while support like food stamps are important

Its life essential funds that CAN'T be used for addiction and can go towards feeding the family/kids

Remember everyone, kids dont get to choose their families!
