JanW64's bio
I have left work due to chronic health problems. I used to love walking especially along the coast on holiday, arthritis has stopped me doing that. I live on my own, I used to have two rescue cats but due to Asthma they have had to be rehomed. I enjoy reading and I am interested in photography and geology/Paleontology especially micro fossils. I am really proud to have discovered two new species. When you have problems you discover who are your true friends. It is so easy to get depressed when you have difficulty in getting out and about. Now I have been inspired to write poetry. -

Abusive adult childrenSully I was in the same situation, bad divorce when my daughter was 12yrs old, my ex turned her against me and I never saw her for 2yrs, she then walked out on him and came back to me. Turned from a nice child to very selfish, thought that mum was there to pay for her life. Eventually she moved out but left her junk in my house. After years gave her ultimatum as I wanted to sell. After that I only saw her if she wanted anything. Never spoke to me for months on end. After not even getting a birthday card and when I rang being told she was fed up with my strops. I told her to stay out of my life. Best thing I could have done. Her effort to turn my family against me with lies did not work. I do have a grandson I will never see. Not bothered at all. I am better off without her. Adult abuse is not acceptable in any shape or form. Do not beat yourself up about what you did. Get advice about seeing your grandchildren, you have a right to see them.ViewDate:

Women's state pension ageIt has been 3 months since started my claim, I left work due to my health at the end of Sept. I have had a work capability assessment and an appointment with a long winded form to fill in. Still waiting a decision. Having to buy food with what little savings I have. As long as the government are lining their own pockets they do not care about the elderly, the poor or the vulnerable.ViewDate:

Saying hello for the first timeHi Carole. Yes i did look to see where mine were. It would take two buses to jut gt there. I cannot get a free bus pass for 2 yrs, so would cost £4 day plus there is a subscription charge. I have to be careful with my money at the moment.ViewDate:

Women's state pension ageThank you MaryPoppins It appears women in our situation understand, some men apparently do not. I was planning for my retirement age 60, my company retirement age was 60. I did not even know the age had been changed and i was affected until I checked on line for my pension date. Then it was changed again and another 18 months added. People may be living longer but in what state. Campaigns for women caught up in this fiasco to be able to retire before age 66 on a reduced pension, according to my MP, is NOT going to happen. How will it save the government money when affected people are costing the NHS more, having increased mental health problems, are not able to care for elderly relatives again costing them more as they have to go into care homes unnecessarily and making their lives miserable. Plus when we are forced to leave work early we have to claim benefits which we have never done all our lives just to feed ourselves. Maybe married women can be supported by their partners. Single or divorced women living on their own don't have that luxury. Hi how many are dying before they get to retire. Is this what the government want so they don't have to pay any money at all. What did Scrooge say ".......and decrease the surplus population"ViewDate:

Women's state pension ageIf I was able to retire at 60, as I expected to do I would be able to cope better with health problems that have occurred since I turned 60. I could care for my elderly mother without having her worry about having to go into a care home. The older you are there is a bigger risk of ill health. Having to struggle at work with ill health knowing how difficult it is to get financial help when forced to leave not being able to get your state pension even after you have worked for almost 50yrs. Absolutely it is to do with the change in the pension age, it has been changed twice on me now.ViewDate:

Life in your 50s and 60s nowJust joined. I am in my 60's. I have looked up Meet Ups, in my area, lot of different groups to join depending on what you are interested in and how far you can travel. Look under your local area for events or what is going on in your local museum, volunteer. Good luck -
