Money Problems

The woman never liked children. Now a child had ruined her life. She couldn’t get the degree she wanted and needed to get the job of which she had always dreamed.

She would be forever stuck working full time at a dead-end job. She would never forgive Casey for doing this to her.

Sometimes she got mad and shook her baby. Shaking a baby will cause major brain damage. It took longer for Casey to learn to do things, such as walk or talk, than it did other children. Knowing this only angered the woman even more.

The woman often had a hard time making ends meet and paying bills. She was often forced to work overtime because of this. As a mother with a newborn child she was always busy. Because of this she was often stressed out and her job would suffer. Though the child got older the woman’s employers were getting tired of the woman’s unsatisfactory work.

They fired her.
