to ask what you all do in childcare emergencies?

[babarthefuckingelephant]

Im a lone parent of a 7mo and a 2yo. I have literally no support anymore, I'm skint. Im trying to pick myself back up and get things back on track after DH beating me up and being sent to prison. My family and friends have all pretty much shunned me because of the aforementioned. Nobody has been the slightest bit supportive or even wants to acknowledge i exist because I seem to have brought shame on the family by letting this happen.
Im at uni 2 hours one night a week. My mum has now refused to cover for this as I am now out of the family fold and I literally have no other support. Im going to have to give it up aren't i? I can't speak to uni as the course is four years of the same timetabled time. Its 6-8pm and its the only thing I'm holding onto to get myself out of this mess. Im screwed aren't i?

Do you know anyone doing a child related course at your uni/know someone who can put you in touch with them?? When I was doing my childcare course at college, I found a family to babysit for through someone at the college and I jumped at the chance. They didnt pay me much, but it was a reference and experience to put on my CV.

The University should be able to support you on this. Contact your Student Support. You won't be the first (or last) in this position and it's exactly for this sort of situation that the support it there. The university will not want you to give up your education because you have no family support.

Don't give up.
