ABSTRACT

You get a very bleak feeling. It’s like a feeling that you’re trapped in a position that you can’t get out of. And every experience that you have in the system tends to hammer that home. No, you are not to do this. No, you’re not capable of this because this isn’t available to you. There is nothing for you. Just be happy where you are. Why should I be forced to remain in poverty? And that’s part of what makes me feel ill, what makes me feel unhealthy. (Willow, interview)
