Marriage has broken down.
Moved in with my parents
Am in bunk beds with 5 year old son
Room is 8 by 6!
My dad is an uncontrolled diabetic - mood swings galore. I wouldn't leve my 5 year old son alone with him.
This morning (in addition to the crap weekend I had with my ex)my Dad blew up at DS. I was at work so my Mum witnessed it - he shouted and screamed at DS because he wouldn't pick up some pencils - DS dissolved into tears.
It's not the shouting at him bit or wanting him to do as he is told that worried me - it's that my Dad loses it completely. DS is scared of him.
So - my income is just under 1500 a month now that I have had a pay rise. Good pay rise - was just under 1300 so has gone up nearly ÂŁ100.
By the time I have looked at council tax, electric, housekeeping, childcare, water and petrol (needed for me to work) I have a grand total of about ÂŁ500 a month left for renting privately.
Do you know what that gets me here - nothing - even the dodgy housing estate up the road requires ÂŁ575.
Am off to the council housing department this week . Ho Hum!
Oh - and of course I earn just that bit too much to get any housing benefit help.
Maybe I should resign or drop my hours so I AM eligble.
