Jess, I'm really sorry you're in this position. You know I do what I can to help you but my resources are not infinite, and this sounds like it's an ongoing thing that papering over the cracks isn't really going to sort. I don't know how welfare works there but I know I get 204 Euro a week, which is exactly the same as anyone who is on the dole. So I get paid, for being a 24/7 carer, the same as some lazy teenager who spends his time in front of video games and couldn't be bothered to look for work. It's pathetic, is what it is.
I hope things look up for you soon. Don't despair; your friends are always here for you and though it may seem black now you know the sun will eventually come shining through. You just have to hang in there. I hope your surgery isn't too traumatic, and remember I'm always here if you need me.
Sending love your way...
TH
