Rrr I’m so sorry to hear that! The question for me is will he continue paying rent and the bills, men are not my favourite people at the moment, poor kids too, my kids 9 and 7 suffered when there dad vanished soon as we split up, yes I think u need to apply for some kind of benefits if u can and just don’t depend on him to carry on paying rent and bills, hope you and the kids are sorted soon, use all deserve so much better! Message me anytime xx
