The idea I have here involves a white mom who was brought up in an upper-middle-class family, but somehow gets separated from her lifeline and falls on hard times out on her own. This would be the first part of her crash into reality.
Maybe she thinks she can do it on her own and leaves her husband/boyfriend...
Maybe she was the one who was dumped and is now out on her own...
Maybe her parents were her lifeline and now she's been cut off...
Those are just some suggestions, but the idea would be that she ends up forced to move from the suburbs into a seedier part of town, maybe even put on the welfare system she's so condemned others for using. That would be the second part of her crash into reality.
From here, the way I had in mind for it to flow would involve either her old, white landlord..... or her thuggish, black neighbors.
Old white landlord: this one is simple, only involving her inability to pay the rent on time. This goes on for four or even six months in a row being late. The landlord has a soft spot for her, mostly because she's got a charming demeanor and he doesn't see through to her snobby core. However, the idea pops into his mind the first time she's late involving a fantasy he has for offering other ways to pay. With each time she's late, that fantasy grows stronger, until finally he can't quite resist acting on it. When he approaches her to "talk about this problem", the girl realizes pretty quickly that it's going to take a little extra this time. Without any choice, she has to go through with what he asks of her.
Thuggish black neighbors: this idea involves her just making it by, but becoming a miserable person because of it. She doesn't like the idea of living next door to black neighbors, especially because she still condemns them for likely being on the same welfare that she's on. They're just lazy, I have no choice but they do, blah blah blah... any excuse she can conjure up to make herself feel better for the time being until she needs another excuse. But then she runs out of excuses to come up with. Her misery only growing, one day she decides to take it out on the neighbors one night when they're playing music. She storms over to pound on the door and to put them in their place, as she thinks... but what ends up happening is quite different. She's pulled inside and overwhelmed by the group of guys she never should have confronted. The result... She's alone in a room with one of them, while the others continue doing what they were doing, only this time watching for any potential chances to escape. The only acceptable departure for the snobby white mom is... well, the wall of shame.
Which ever way you prefer it to go, this would be the third and final part of her crash down to reality.
