Hi all
Hope you you can help me again!Sad
Ive recently separated from DH(May), thought it was going ok-ish, friends, sharing childcare whenever I needed it , holidays due to grants that I was getting & seperate spending money but me bearing the brunt of kids spending money. I have 2 DDs! Smile
But, DM does not believe we have split up & that we are diddling the benefit system, SO UNTRUE<img loading="lazy" class="inline-flex mumsnet-emoji" alt="Sad" src="https://www.mumsnet.com/build/assets/sad-q5SIe0Cq.png"><img loading="lazy" class="inline-flex mumsnet-emoji" alt="Angry" src="https://www.mumsnet.com/build/assets/angry-BLHnmhGV.png"> I would love to have her support at this difficult time. Am living under the threat of her reporting me to the benefits people! Now, my ex has dropped a bombshell of reporting me for the amount of drinking I do!<img loading="lazy" class="inline-flex mumsnet-emoji" alt="Sad" src="https://www.mumsnet.com/build/assets/sad-q5SIe0Cq.png"> Yes, I have the odd drink while Im in charge of DD`s & yes I have a bit more when ex-DH is due for a sleepover, all in the name of seeing his children & getting free meals & getting away from his sister who he now lives with in the family home which their parents left them after dyingSad.
I am so gutted that they can treat me like this, but maybe it is my own fault for being so easy going & understanding & so unlike my DM & trying to to keep my ex-DH in my kids life under any circumstance, that I am a mug!!ConfusedHmmSad
Can I please ask for your honest opinions. PLEASE!
TIA(I am in tears writing this)
