Is there a reason you can’t move with your Mum, at least near to her? You’re going to need help and support from time to time. If the council aren’t helping (which they have a legal obligation to do, though I don’t know the full conversations you’ve had) then try Citizens Advice first thing in the morning. Also, try here:

Support with any parenting problem: Family Lives 9am-9pm weekdays, 10am-3pm weekends FREE helpline 0808 800 2222 http://familylives.org.uk

You could do that right now!

Hi Bristol

It sounds like you’re going through a tough time. Hopefully you’ll get support from others on the forum.

For advice on what financial help you can claim as a single parent you can call Gingerbread’s free advice service on 0808 802 0925.

Take care

Rose
