The lapse in my work history results from me taking time off to take care of my grandmother who needed around the clock care that my family couldn't afford, nor correctly provide themselves. I provided care for her until she passed. I shortly after started a family of my own and my husband and I decided I' d be a stay at home mom until our son was able to attend school full time.
