A Humble Life
Natalie seems to be having a difficult time parenting. She rents a two-bedroom apartment and subsists on welfare benefits. However, Natalie told the Daily Mail that she feels “at peace” now that she has overcome the difficulties of raising so many children on her own, in part because she can use her story to encourage and inspire other women to make wise choices. Natalie no longer likes being called “Octomom,” and she stated, “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.”
