My extended family are aware of recent drop in benefit income. Yet not one of them has offered to support my child and myself. Not one has asked how I am feeling. They are married, have good careers, large homes and top of the range cars. Go holidays abroad when allowed.
Ashamed of me. A single parent and a benefit scrounger.
