As a member of society, I would want you to be safe, but also I know people who have been in your situation and it didn’t seem to resolve the financial issues. You can’t really claim an income that way and future employers are going to wonder about the work gaps. The women I have known have had to move on to something more practical. But, I really don’t know what it is like or how dangerous it is, I just wish people didn’t have these financial problems. But, it does make me respect the women I know, because they took steps to get themselves out of their situations; none of them had children however.
