they don't even know you exist. And sometimes when they know you exist, they will not see any of the problems that you are having. I married into rich, although he didn't have his inheritance yet. We had a child. He divorced me a few years later. Since then my son and I have lived a life of poverty. The funny thing is that my mother (who was not rich) left my son $1000, which is more than his rich grandparents left him when they died.

The reality is that most rich people just don't think of you, period. They can't comprehend life being a struggle. My ex once said that it was hard work being rich. Even when he 'struggled' when he was first starting out, he could call mom and 'borrow' some money to get by. Even he really had no idea, what it takes to live day to day. Add in any type of disability and well, it's not something that they can fathom. Everyone should be able to find a job and support themselves, no matter what.

Yes, there are some good ones out there, but even then some still have no idea the scope of the problem when they are donating to various groups. If there is a problem, you throw money at it and basically that's all they know.
