    It looks smells like and probably is fraud. You would be surprised how many single parents have male lodgers if you are not up to anything fine. Benefit crackdowns are getting stricter and sanctions harder. You sound very much like someone I know who is lodging in his girlfriends house.

    I NEVER ASKED THE INTERVENTION INTO MY LIFE -

    Yes you did. You did that when you signed the forms for your claim.

    Whats so hard to understand?

    How about no longer being masochistic?
    How about remembering your divinity?
    How about unabashedly bawling your eyes out?
    How about not equating death with stopping?

    Would hate to see his girlfriend lose her single parent top ups. Ok no I wouldn't.

    I understand that - but I am not a scrounger - so I was just pointing out that I am not

    No one has accused you of being a scrounger.

    So I have put myself out here, subjected my story online - and I am guilty until proved innocent?

    This is ridiculous!

    The only person having trouble understanding is you

    Filling in forms I have done - but not JUST TO CLAIM. You do not know me or my plight

    I am not going to rise to your silly bait

    You really do play the victim don't you. You are trying very hard to prove your "innocence" yet no-one has accused you of anything.

    doth pretest too much

    If you want to know why people have commented (with comments you didn't want to hear) the clue is in your original post.

    Oh dear oh dear

    I am actually laughing at you now

    What a lonely person you must be

    A victim I have and never will be.

    Again - you do not know my plight - and if you knew me as a person, you would know that despite everything I have been through and suffered - I am a happy go lucky person, who realises that there are people worse off than me.

    But - like I said - you do not know me - and for that I am thankful. I am very picky when it comes to friends

    I bid you a fond farewell and leave you to try and tear somebody else apart on here. This forum is for help and advice - not for nasty, untrue accusations

    Cheerio

    Right, so no one has actually accused you of anything. Glad we have cleared that up.
