Hiya, i am one of those married, single mums too! lol I have the hubby, but he has his interests and work and i am left to raise the kids singlehandedly with no outside support. It does get hard, and it can get lonely so i know how you feel! I have 2 girls, one is 12 the other 8 (going on 18...lol) I have just joined Facebook, look it up on the pet forum and add me if you like. :-)

Hi find out if there is a childrens centre in your area. They will be able to recommend any groups or coffee mornings thet may interest you. They may be able to get you on college course (if you are interested) you can get funding for child care. Going to parent groups or on a college course will get you out in to your community and you may meet new friends who are in the same situation as you. You could improve you skills at college to improve your chances of getting the job you want when you are ready to obviously. I went to college and put my daughter in day care and it was the best decision i ever made. I met new peole and had something to do for me! It was really hard and still is! LOL. Just like you my kids are my world but i still felt that i had to do something for me! hope everything works out for you! janine

to all you single mums on here,never give up and never be put down im sure your all doing a great job and no matter if your single or with a partner bringing up kids is never a easy task we are all teachers to them and they learn from what they see and hear from us,being together can make things easier but never get disheartened there are a lot more single mums in society today and a lot more help is available.Its hard to ever see the end of a tunnel without someone shining a light to guide your way but everything that goes down must come up at sum point.keep on doing what you do best and being great mums we are only human at end of the day and we all make mistakes so there isnt such a thing as a right way or wrong way to bring up kids. as long as they are loved for and cared for thats the main thing that matters.

Hi,, hope you're feeling a bit more hopeful as you have had lots of lovely positive messages from people.Things may seem tough at times but you are stronger than you think,try to remember your child smiling at you and how wonderful he is most of the time - they are all little monsters now & again.Also remember you are learning yourself and are surviving by yourself with your child and as long as you love your child he will no doubt return that feeling to you - a billion times over.You are showing him you are a strong, loving mum and send best wishes for yourselves for the future.

I know at the moment you are thinking why me and why does all the crap stuff seem to happen to you but the problem is that when you are feeling low some of the crap stuff in life seems a lot bigger than it actually is and when were feeling good things like that pass us by without much of a emotional quest.Im sure your kids love you and your a great mum to them i know you say there used to be getting let down but i think that if you really look deep in your heart you will know you have done your best for them and they will know it to children are more intelligent than a lot of people think and they pick up on signals so early on in life,but im sure your a great mum and your kids love you x as for whats happening with the councel i know its really crap but things will get better x go to the citizen advice and seek information there x but hang on in there you will get through this

Hi, You should be put on the emergency homeless list - it would be a good idea as another person has posted to have citizens advice behind you for support.They should be able to help you get private accomodation or a b&b for the short term until you can get a permanent place for yourselves.

Dora, im so sorry to hear that. You are having a rough time! I am not suprised you feel exhausted right now. Go have a few stiff drinks, cuddle the kids, have an early night and face the new day tomorrow. Hopefully, SOMETHING will be done. They cant just leave you homeless. If they refuse to help you - go to the newspapers, name and shame. I have seen a few articles like that in our local newspapers and they didnt stay homeless for very long after that!
Good luck, we are all behind you and if you need anyone to talk to - feel free to email/message me.x
