    Do you get anything else for being a single mother

    I'm not and have never been a single mother. My mother was a single mother who worked very hard to bring up her children. I still appreciate what she did for us.

    A bit hypocritical telling me to get a job when you yourself don't have one? non? Also accusing me of being a 'lazy git' when by your own admission you sit around 'p!ssing around on the computer' all day?

    DMG yes I went on one of these courses around 7 years ago...if someone is incapable of work due to social phobia I can assure you these New Deal courses are not at all suitable either. I appreciate your advise regarding CAB and having a MIND advocate, if not your liberal lecture.

    I was joking...

    ..just don't appreciate being judged on whether i should or shouldn't receive benefit by people who are themselves in a similar position , or have been in the past...who are they to judge?

    Anyway thanks to those who did give advise on IS etc.

    I am now beginning to wonder if you are just a troll realitybet.

    People have tried to help, but you have chosen to concentrate on those that have given negative comments and retort in a way as to exacerbate things.

    Pastures, many people get down and possibly withdrawn with depression, but some can get angry, often if alcohol is involved (before you jump on me rb, I am not saying that you are drinking!)? Definitely a complex condition x
    Gone ... or have I?

    I thought it very troll-like too ... so took a quick trip through past postings and felt this person is manipulative and unrealistic. And yes, trolly (probably off it).

    One of the nastiest things i have ever read on a forum!

    I don't think you have the burden of paying anything for anyone.

    Likewise Sparkles123. I agree. There is no need for it.

    I've just reported said post to MSE Abusive Posts.

    Best Regards,

    Imagine someone holding forth on biology whose only knowledge of the subject is the Book of British Birds, and you have a rough idea of what it feels like to read Richard Dawkins on theology: Terry Eagleton
