My husband left yesterday. I was a single parent before I met him and was quite happy that way. It feels more difficult this time.
I don’t know who to turn to for help. We live in a very isolated house in the middle of nowhere (rented) and I don’t drive. He left some money for me to get taxi’s or busses but just today getting my daughter to school and back it was £32. The bus times don’t work with school times. It’s not sustainable. I work in the same area that my daughter goes to school and would like to move back there but I don’t have any money, there aren’t any houses available in the area to rent, so I’m stuck.
We claim joint universal credit, if the claim is changed to just my name, is it expected that I earn a certain amount of money? I don’t think I can pay the rent on my own.
I’m trying to focus on the logistics of this separation as I’m so confused and shocked at him leaving.
Thank you
