to wonder when things will get better

[likesnowflakesinanocean]

it doesn't rain but it pours is the general theme of the last half year. since mum passed away everything seems to have turned to shit. one full time worker in household but low income, received help through hb and WTC now been massively cut due to benefit changes. have applied for daft amount of jobs am always overqualified for but lose out on the ones I'm trained in due to non driver. had a massive unavoidable bill that is crippling us and trying to help ds through losing his nan but feel helpless. need a short sharp kick up the backside to pull myself out of the doom and make things better

Hiya this could have been yesterday morning, had a bloody good cry on the bench in the garden came in , put make up on and got on with it, you are not being helpless you are working through your grief and your ds' s too, thats hard for anyone,you uh cant do everything you know have you rung wtc sometimes they get it wrong and hb, hope you feel better soon x

it is due to the bedroom tax as we only have dp children half of the time so dont receive cb for so are currently classed as having a spare room. its hard as although we only got a little bit it made all the difference now we are really struggling. thanks for being kind to me

Bloody bedroom tax has a lot to answer for, I hope you are feeling a bit better now try to stay positive (I know how hard that is ) look after yourselves you have each other thats a lot more than some people, thats the way I look at it, and it helps! Take care of yourselves x
