Not entitled to a thing

  • Continual Diamond, Does your OH belong to a Trade Union? They may be able to help, or yours if you belong to one. I know it feels tough now but bad times do not last forever. Some years ago I found myself in my forties, divorced and in a low paid job. I very nearly ended up homeless because, as you have discovered there is no help for childless persons. I did a postgraduate degree on top of my job and this enabled me to get a well paid job. But I would not like to have to go through that kind of thing again. I hope your OH finds a job soon.

    Calley, if you want to continue airing your problems may I suggest you take them to the moneysaving arms.
