From the point of conception to the moment of truth

So we're a month into painting and nobody except me has made a comment. WAH. It's been a tough month. Lowest lows and some brighter moments but things are on track. The kids are doing allright and I'm feeling stronger in all ways except financial.

I'm applying for the child tax benefits that every other low income family in the country gets (my ex makes too much to be eligable) and I'm simultaneously being "reviewed" by the Taxman for claims I made vis-a-vis my two children.

Don't you find it odd that I'm on legal aid? Why is the public purse paying my legal bills? I qualified and got the certificate honestly. Why? Do all the ex wives of lawyers require legal aid? Or is it just me, the ex husband of a high income lawyer? Hmmm. I obviously didn't have the money for lawyers but I qualified for legal aid. That's not her problem now is it. You're paying for it.
