In what universe...? part four

[TryingToDo180]

So here's the latest news. I got this off my son earlier. He said apparently h is going to get a 2 bedroomed flat and asked my son if he wants to live with him. My son said yes as the flat is closer to his college. I've talked to my son about the pros and cons about living with h and I think my son is now beginning to see that he is better off living with me. I really don't know how much more of this BS I can take. It just seems to go from bad to worse.
Also my son has a presentation to go to next month. My h told him that he will take my son in his car, but I will have to catch the bus there! Ooooo there are words that I can describe him at the mo, but they are unrepeatable on here!

Sorry to hear about these latest issues TTD180. Sounds to me like the H is doing the paying you back for not selling the house etc.
Hold you head up high, if you have to catch the bus to your son's presentation then so be it. Simply think of it as your son was already at that place, and you just had to get there yourself. Take the H out of all the equations.

HWA, I've got an even better plan for the presentation evening, I'm not going to order him a ticket He doesn't know where it is either. I can be as arsy as he can Yes I do think it's because I'm not going to sell the house.

Sorry to hear your H is being an a to you. Seems like he realizes he has no control over you because of the whole house sitch and now is trying to find another way to get your goat.

I hope you S does stay with you, I can't imagine he would be happy for long at his father's.

Stay strong TTD.

[TryingToDo180]

I hope so as well Pud, I will miss him like crazy

[Not Quitting]

I also hope your son does stay with you.

I thought your H was skint. Where'd he suddenly get the money for a 2 bedroom flat . I agree that it's another attempt to get you to sell the house.

You really have to wonder where the minds of these MLCers went. I'm sure they've all been abducted by aliens LOL

[TryingToDo180]

Hey NQ and Pud Where've you both been? I agree, I think their minds have been abducted by aliens, lol. He is skint, but he probably thinks that the council will give him a 2 bedroomed flat if he tells them that his son is moving in with him. I will be getting advice over this very soon

[Not Quitting]

The council might "give" him a flat, but he still has to pay rent to them. Those council flats aren't rent-free. I know as I used to live in one - it only cost me 75 pound a week, but you need to pay the rent or they'll evict.

I'd definitely be getting advice on that situation. Have you finally gotten an appointment with the advice centre?

[TryingToDo180]

No not yet but I'm more determined than ever to get an appt, even if I have to miss college! I don't really want to miss college as each lesson is important, but then so is this. I sometimes think I've taken too much on by doing this course this year.

[Not Quitting]

Don't get down about college - it's something you're doing for yourself right? I thought about going back to school to learn a whole new career 3 years ago when I got laid off from my job, but I was the main earner and I do love my job most of the time so I stuck it out and found another job in the same field.

Keep onto the advice centre. They'll eventually get you an appointment, even if it's just to get you to stop calling them .
