Can I hand my notice in because of childcare issues being a single parent?

HELP!

I started a new job summer last year where family members said that they would help out with childcare; unfortunately they are no longer in a position to do this and I am left in a situation where I literally have no other help in getting my child from school, childminder isn’t an option as I just simply cannot afford it.

I have been on the sick now for four weeks due to the stress this is putting me under causing my blood pressure to rise to unhealthy levels, and unfortunately at the moment the only option seems to be to hand in my notice; only thing is I would then not have an income and I am unsure as to where I would stand with any help benefits wise.

Seems that by trying to better the family and do the right thing I have bitten off a little more than I can chew.

Can anyone please offer some advice ❤️

@MarieQueenofScots - so you did - apologies!

No apology needed at all Smile

I wondered if I wasn’t quite clear. Obviously there may be reasons why OP can’t pursue the other parent so wanted to bear that in mind!
