I'm unemployed at the moment, my two children (boy 13 Girl 11) stay with my ex and her girlfriend we have joint custody, I live in a 3 bedroom house and my children come and stay 2 /3 times a week . Now that this bedroon tax is starting the hole I'm is getting deeper, I did'nt ask to get divorced, I did'nt want my work to close down, it seems that the Gov dont care. If I downsize they cannot stay over and the fact that a 1 bed property cost more rent than a 3 bedroom house, I know I was willing to give up on them before but the wire snapped and I'm still here but now this bedroom tax and council tax I'm thinking if it would be better that I was'nt here at least I would not be a burdon on anyone
