Terrified

[Doney99]

myself and my partner of 6 years have decided to separate. We have a house and a little boy 2.5 yrs. I’m absolutely terrified of what’s to come as it’s got nasty already. I am financially dependent on him so am totally unsure of what to do next x

Hi,

 

I hope you are feeling a bit better than your first post. Feeling terrified is scary but try to just tackle things one step at a time, you can’t do everything at once.

 

When you can check into your entitlements with a benefit calculator and or advice from gingerbread or citizens advice bureau.

 

You will surprise yourself on what you can do and get through. It will all just seem very overwhelming at the moment.

 

Best wishes
