I recently lost my job and my parents have since disowned me, saying that I am a lazy 'bum' and a scrounger and that I should get off my backside and get a job.

Trouble is I already am trying really hard but cant find employment. My partner has also left me saying that she will no longer support me financially and that I need to stand on my own two feet. Will things

improve or am I destined to be lonely and skint forever?

Hi Rob, By now you must be sick of your own company and willing to do anything to get a new job. All I can say is don't take the first thing that comes along ,you will leave it as quick as you start it.
