I am skeptical.Where did she say that? Nowhere. She said her brother died and her family fell apart. Her post was a short description of why life is a "bitch", and she was referring to her own life, not yours.
Anyway, there is a difference between "house" and "neighbourhood" in case you didn't understand that. You can have a nice house in a bad neighbourhood, and vice versa.
Regardless, did you not even consider the possibility that they had to move house from a good neighbourhood to a bad neighbourhood due to her mother not being able to hold down a job?
Being skeptical is fine, but it just means you do not accept things without evidence. It does not mean you get to be an ass and start randomly insulting people.
Oh, and as for your complaint about rule 3, please read it again:

Whilst making an insulting or impolite remark in a discussion is not covered by this rule, it is not recommended.
