For just over two years we have been living in mobile homes while my husband fulfils his dream of building a house.....or rather leaves me to on a steep learning curve trying to manage the build and look after the children and run my own business.....while he works with his father in the family business while telling me what I am getting wrong regarding the build, looking after the children, keeping things tidy etc ect...
We have three children and are starting the third winter in the mobile homes and quite frankly I can't go through another winter being cold and I am not prepared to let my children go through it. The water freezes, we struggle to wash clothes and ourselves, so having been offered a house to rent have decided to take it if I can afford it and leave him. I would be entitled to working families tax and child tax credit but i don't know about housing benefit as although we own the house although we can't live in it, I think it would be considered savings.
After being under so much pressure for so long my ability to cope seems very reduced and I know this won't be pleasant but I need to do it.
Has anyone else experience of a similar situation and can suggest how to move forward. I have the offer of the house but what do I do next?
