    And your grasp of the language is rubbish. Stop making out you're clever when you're not.
  • K0405, please just pay attention to the posts that are actually trying to answer your questions, not those from people failing to look clever and draw attention to themselves. Their posts are all about them and nothing to do with you or the situation you find yourself in.

    More hugs to you.

    I or no one else has either said or intimated that we thought he met her before they were seperated, in fact it's totally irrelevent before or after...what is relevent is that the op has found txts that were obviously sent and recieved while they got back together...hence the statement 'he only got back together for the kids'.... I seem to know more of whats going on than you and we are reading the same post! Don't need to be Miss Marple just need to read posts correctly.

    EDIT: Oops meant to also say you have obviously nothing to add of any merit to this thread, the op seems to be in desperate need of help and advice and your tittle tattle might just add to her distress, maybe it's best if you left this thread and pursue your goal to irritate elsewhere.
  • Thank you to those who messaged back.

    We split because there was an incident of domestic abuse. He went on some classes , we had counselling and all was well I thought. I had my suspicions that something was going on when he started frantically looking for his phone. It struck my as odd how quick he was to accuse me of having it and he had this terrified look on his face.

    I have got a food parcel coming tomorrow which makes me feel so guilty :( I'm sure other people need it more than me :(

    Can anyone tell me...tax credits said it would take 3 weeks. Is that 3 weeks starting from the day they signed for it. It's already been 9 days since they signed for it but its not.on the system yet. Has three week countdown began yet? Xxx

    Don't feel guilty about recieving a food parcel, you and your children are in need and thats all the matters. While i appreciate it is most probably a nightmare situation you are obviously better off without him (sorry i know that does'nt help much) but hopefully your life will take a turn for the better soon.
    Sorry can't help with regards to tax credits but someone else will be along soon hopefully to advise.

    Can't help with the TC question (but, if it were me, I would be phoning them) but just wondered if you are aware you are able to get your child benefit paid weekly, as a single parent, rather than 4-weekly?

  • Glad you have your food parcel and I hope it was good. Ignore the idiots on here, most people are nice.
    I can't advise about the tax credits sorry.
