^ The thing is though, if you want to stand a chance of achieving great things in your life, you need to get past the bitterness and anger (and yes I know you've been through a horrible time with your family, but bitterness only destroys). I know this, because in my early 20s I was very negative, bitter and angry and it got me nowhere apart from endless breakdowns. Somewhere along the line, I turned round my attitude to life and it makes the knocks so much easier to deal with. I have the odd wobble, but I quickly sort me out. You've been constantly up and down the last couple of years with pretty much the same problems. Yeah, the government isn't perfect, but your situation is also down to life choices you have made. You chose to move out with your boyfriend when you are not financially stable and you kind of have to accept the adult responsibilities that come with that. I'm not exactly in a well paid job, but I live within my means and don't do things I can't afford. I budget carefully each month, knowing how much money I need each month and paying everything by direct debit so my costs are the same each month and there are no nasty surprises. Posting on the internet about how bad / hard your life is, is not going to sort out your life. Some counselling for the things you've been through and a permanent change of attitude would be a good start.
I'm not saying this to be harsh. I'm saying because I care about you and because it saddens me to see you plunging in to despair every other month. You've got a lot going for you, but it's down to you to make your life in to what you want it to be.
