Homeless in Plain Sight

What do you think of when asked to describe a homeless person? Most would paint a picture of an adult standing on a corner with a cardboard sign, usually by a highway exit ramp. Let me describe another version that may have been hiding right in front of you, maybe even in your own home. Learn the questions you and your child should ask to spot child abuse. Identify behaviors and how to help other children that frequently visit your home. Growing up as a homeless kid, trust that it’s not the behaviors that you would expect.

I'd made immense sacrifices, and I became almost too good at functioning on three hours of sleep and lots of caffeine. No sleep or free time? Come on—I would have this motherhood thing in the bag.
