Struggling mentally

I know there’s no real answer to this, just have nobody to talk to really. My ex has left me with 8 week old dc and I have no money to pay the bills expect 2k which I was saving for maternity expenses. He’s written off his car after driving under the influence so we have no transport as I sold my car for some maternity money. He won’t communicate at all. I will call cms soon but I’ve heard it could take weeks. I am gobsmacked by what he’s done. None of it seems like him. It’s been stressful with dc but not unexpected. I haven’t heard from him now for a week and don’t even know where he is. I cry everyday and feel close to cracking. I’m so worried about the future.

Do you currently credit ? If not then you need to make a claim asap, or if you do currently have a claim then switch it to a single claim. Do you have rent to pay ? If so then UC will give you some help with rent. If you are sure he's not coming back then request single occupancy discount on your council tax also. Do you have any support from family or friends?

You will get through this. Get on the phone to the Citizens Advice Bureau and ask to speak to a benefits advisor who can help you claim UC and housing benefit etc.

Have you got any family and friends around you? Ask them for support and let them help you. Do you have a health visitor you could talk to?
