 I didn't have an income. I didn't have a partner. And I just didn't really measure up, I suppose, in terms of what society expects of new mothers. So I had very, very limited options. Back in Jersey, Doreen wasn't able to move back to her parents' house. Her mother by that point had dementia and her father was caring full time for her. Instead, Doreen ended up living in a hostel for homeless single mothers in St. Helier, Jersey's capital.
