Newly single mum! Help!!

[Henrythehoover]

Hi I broke up with my partner of 10yrs last week. I feel really happy which is strange but need to know I have covered everything I need to. I've changed my tax credit claim to single. Didn't realise they would just stop the money straight away and I now have to wait three weeks for a decision. I've also told the housing association and seen if I can get help with the rent. I work part time so not to sure about that one. Is that everything?

I have three children 6,9&12 the oldest isn't his but he's brought her up for a long time so still wants to see her obviously. He won't believe it's over and that's making it hard. Sorry I'm rambling. So on a practical side is there anything else I need to do?

Hi Henry, I'm afraid I can't really help, but just wanted to say good luck
