I have two toddler boys aged 1&3. I am currently in the process of being diagnosed with fibromyalgia after 3 years of chronic pain fatigue and insomnia. I have managed to breastfeed my 1 year old since he was born 14 months ago but it has been a hard journey. I have been with my partner for five unhappy years and we are selling our flat (his flat) to buy a bigger property. He is expecting me to invest my 10k that my parents have for me into our next property. I am going through a realisation process that I do not want to live with him, we are fundamentally incompatible and do not get on. I am often shaking and consumed with panic after our frequent fallouts about small things such as car keys. I don't know if I can manage ony own with two toddlers and where on earth to start or how. Financially and health wise. My mum provides support two half days a week. I wondered if there are any single mums reading this who have successfully made it on their own with two toddler boys. Or if you are reading this and have some advice to share, please let me know. Thank you. X

Aren't you allowed to receive help with childcare costs via tax credits if you have a disability and are unable to work?

Another thing you could do is get SS out to do an assessment of your needs, they may well allow payments for nursery.

Also could your ex have them some of the time?

You can cope and you will.
