A Modest Life
Raising 14 kids alone is no piece of cake, but Natalie Suleman is handling it all pretty well in her two-bedroom apartment and living from paycheck to paycheck and food stamps. She even converted her office into a bedroom to make it a three bedroom. Natalie has told Daily Mail that she now feels “at peace” after all the hardships she endured to raise so many kids alone. One way that she feels at peace is by sharing her controversial story with other women in the hopes of inspiring them to make the right decisions for themselves and their children. What’s more, Natalie doesn’t like to be referred to as “Octomom” any longer. She feels this persona almost destroyed her and her family life. “I didn’t want to live. I felt less than human as that character I was pretending to be, to survive and provide for my family.” But what does all this mean for the kids living with all this knowledge of the past?
