“My Supports” In my opinion support is help of any kind from someone other than self. As I think about my support system, I think of my family. My family is and always has been so supportive. We stick together and support one another. The area of support needed is never too big or too small. If one family member is unable to help support the other on their own, others will step in. I am a single parent raising two boys ages 8 and 12. As hard as it is to raise children on my own, my family has lifted burdens off me in more ways than one. I’ve been supported physically, emotionally and mentally from my family members. I am truly blessed to have such a family that is willing to come together and be so supportive during times of need. Without them, I do not know where my children and I would be. Without my family, I would probably have to entrust in others. This would be a very hard thing for me to do because I am not used to dealing with people other than my family when it comes to asking for support. I would have to choose friends extremely careful due to the fact they will be involved in my personal business including my children. Hopefully, this will never happen.
