Grace giving hope to single moms.


All comedy aside, I am a single mother and I love the show. It showed that a woman can make mistakes,over come advercity, and still not only survive. She made ammends w/the kids dad, heck let him live in the back yard, and showed the power of friendship:while all the friends helped her, she worked nights sometimes and showed what a struggle that was being a mother, but still showed that as a sole provider you do what you have to do. And she went back to school and found her way out of financial stress.
I say that her show was an insparation of sorts.

Why think inside the box........I didn't create it!

Did the kids' dad make amends as well? He was an alcoholic that beat her, while she was trying to hide that from the kids (who did notice). Must have been something big to forgive what he did to her.

The only thing I find unrealistic about this show is how a single mom making minimum wage can afford either one of those houses, especially the first one. In reality she would be living in a trailer.
