Just that really, my outgoings are more than my incoming. I work part-time 3 days a week and am a lone parent. DD has no contact with father and he has never paid any maintenance (have tried to to through CMS but they basically told me I'd never get a penny).
What am I supposed to do?! I can't work full time because I don't have cover for all the school holidays. I go to college once a week so I can train for a better paid job. But even if I'm on a decent wage working 3 days a week is never going to make ends meet on my own.
Feeling very frustrated. Is anyone else in my position? How do you cope? Is there a way out of this?
