Hi, have you asked your link worker if you can get a place at a mother & baby unit where you will also be given support for yourself and helped back into regular housing.Good luck.

Being a single mum is hard but very rewarding. I was 19 years old when i got pregnant and got treated terribly by my sons dad he kept leaving me then coming back. To be honest the best thing i ever did was put an end to him messing my son and me about. I am now 32 my son is 12 years old and he never sees his dad apart from christmas day but he isn't at all bothered. My ex just isn't interested and my son is not bothered at all. Best of luck and things do get easier as it did for me. x

hi i am a sinle mum aged 45, i recently gave birth to a boy with downs. i also have no family for support and excluded socially in the area i moved to.
its hard to be jack of all trades, and both parents, but it has made me realise when i had my other kids having a partner wasnt good and i struggled more then with 'so called help' spent ages pleasing them and doing what they wanted,
and i dont have the rows, or abuse - verbal or physical.
yes is sooooooooooooo hard when things go wrong and the to-do list is longer than the loo roll, but
each day has its good moments.
what looks bad one day may seem better the next
it may be hard trying to get shopping in but there is the internet - i am on benefits but manage to shop online since having baby - my other child has to have food , so do i - and i have had deliveries from hell with my garden stuff and pulled all my stitches from my section.
so living in a semi tip at times, well it looks better when you get the time!
I am also trying to complete a degree with open university.
juggle, look after yourself more - family cannot survive without the key person.

Not everyone is entitled to help from the state, I know a young woman from abroad (not from the EEC) who is struggling with a baby, her studies and her part time job. She is not entitled to ANY HELP WHATSOEVER from the state, no housing, no benefits, no childcare,nothing! So remember, there is always someone worse off than you.

Hiya...just readin back about problems doras havin with rehouseing via the council...oh boy!!! been there done that...i too sought help from the cab and they were useless...i werent even put into emergency accomodation..i ended up at my moms while my 3 kids went to my sisters...horendous....the cab 100% guaranteed me that local council wud re house us...nope...they didnt..they basically told me to bugger off......i didnt get help to get into private rented either...my parents had to help me...which i am eternally grateful for..otherwise i dont know where we wud have ended up. So as for sayin somethin always turns up..i dont believe that any longer...sorry for sounding so negative...but dont believe in building folks hopes up to be let down with a bang if you know wot i mean...been in private rented now for 5yrs and the landlord is a pig of a man...dont do repairs..no rent book..pay him cash for rent..no receipts..if i cross him and i have done once...the answer he gives you is to clear off and he threatens to throw you out..well i cant afford to be homeless again...so i keep my mouth shut..which is wrong because payin a fortune here to live and its a right dump..but wot do you do?? when needs must eh?? I hope if yr readin this dora you have managed to sort some accomodation out for yourselves?? hope everythin is ok with you and yr kids....but then again wot pramcrazy said.theres always someone worse off than yourself..its true...but god help them....

Hi Kerry. Just seen your message and felt so sorry for you. I have friends in the same situation, im not ready for children yet but find it exciting and a delight to have their children now and again. Do you not have any friends that would do this for you?? Iv completed my child training and always looked into counselling etc so although im not a mother im happy to help. By all means take my number off contact details and text anytime xxx
