AIBU to wonder why I bothered?

There's a fair backstory to this but the gist is that DP had a gambling addiction that came to the fore 5 years ago. We had nothing apart from shitloads of debt and a pregnancy on the way
way.

Since then I have worked so, so hard to get back on track and we have done it by hook or by Crook. Got well on the way to paying people back, got a niceish rented house in a niceish area and two beautiful daughters.

Now we have hit a problem that we have become £550 behind with the rent. Last month DP lost his job but didn't tell me. He was on a 0 hours contract and they decided they didn't have any work- after two years of working for them :(

The landlord has said he won't wait for the rent, and served us notice to vacate the property unless we pay by next week.

I have tried so bloody hard to build our life back up and it's all going to be for nothing over £500. It feels so worthless that I bothered trying. I can't sleep because I feel sick, I can't eat, I can't think apart from worry. We can't get help from anywhere, I have tried and tried, Dp has tried, we have nothing to sell, no car, no extra to cut back on.

I have tried payday loan companies, nobody will help, I just don't know what to do now :(

Afternoon all,

Sorry to butt in, but when any threads like this are flagged up to us, we're obliged to post the following message:

Can we remind everyone that we do advise all our members that, although we're awed daily by the support our members give each other through life's trickier twists and turns, we'd always caution anyone never to give more of themselves to another poster, emotionally or financially, than they can afford to spare.

We can see the OP has been a MNer for years and have absolutely no reason to think this isn't genuine, by the way.

ImprobableGirl, we really hope things start looking up for you and your DP soon. Flowers

Hi again ImprobableGirl,

We didn't mean to offend you - that was just a standard message that we have to post when threads like this are brought to our attention.

We can see you're a genuine MNer going through a rough patch. And we didn't really think you were trying to sell your baby! Shock

Glad to see you're getting a lot of good advice and support on this thread - hopefully all the wise MNers will help you find the best way forward. Flowers
