My boyfriend has cut all ties with his sons - Coleen Nolan problem page

My boyfriend has cut all ties with his sons - Coleen Nolan problem page | Parental Responsibility | Scoop.it

I have been single for four years and have finally met a really lovely man. He is kind and sweet, but there’s one sticking point.

He was married in his early 20s and has two sons who are seven and nine, but he never sees them.

 

He said the divorce was really messy – his wife had an affair – and he cut them off.

 

When I told my mum she was horrified and said a man who can walk away from his kids isn’t to be trusted. But he is so lovely in every other way that I am worried I will be throwing away a good relationship.

I have told a few of my friends and two of them have said the same as my mum.

 

I tried to talk to him about his sons and suggested he should write them a letter and try to attempt a meeting, but he shut down and told me it was none of my business.

Is this issue too big to ignore?

Backlash begins over 'bedroom tax' as MPs stand firm

Backlash begins over 'bedroom tax' as MPs stand firm | Parental Responsibility | Scoop.it

Chancellor George Osborne and Work and Pensions Secretary Iain Duncan Smith dismissed criticism that they said made the shake-up sound like “the beginning of the end of the world”.

 

They launched a fightback as 660,000 social housing tenants with a spare room began to lose an average £14 a week in what critics have dubbed a bedroom tax.

 

It is part of a package of welfare and tax changes coming into force this month which critics claim will hit poor families and the disabled especially hard.

 

Changes to council tax benefit will see bills for an estimated 2.4 million households rise an average £138 a year with two million paying for the first time, an anti-poverty group said.

 

The system has been handed to town halls to operate from today.

Housing benefit: 'Homes will have to be handed to the private sector'

Housing benefit: 'Homes will have to be handed to the private sector' | Parental Responsibility | Scoop.it

Notting Hill Housing faces an end to 700 tenancies when the housing benefit cap hits London households.

 

Many people argue that the housing benefit bill is too high and that those needing support to find and sustain a home should not be housed in the most valuable properties in central London.

 

Notting Hill Housing provides 2,500 leased homes in London for homeless households and the rapid introduction of benefit caps for existing tenants will have profound and unfortunate effects for our tenants.
