As a mother...

I feel so helpless, negative, angry, ect... My son is 2 and a half years me and dad are still together BUT dad lives in another town hoping to get a job because where we live now there is none...The day he left was the hardest thing i ever had to do and to try and stay positive feels impossible... Long story short there was an accident and dad got hurt pretty bad from what i can put together... I started asking around for financial assistance so that i am able to pay for a bus ticket for me and our son but instead all i got was being insulted, chased away like a dog, and criticised....i might look desperate but thats because i am i really am desperate i urgently need to get to him i am worried, scared, stressed all i want is to be there with him.... As a mother would you do the same? Am i in the wrong for asking help i cant think straight i dont know what to do

Sorry but it sounds like he’s checked out of your relationship- from what you’ve said

No one likes being asked for bus fare though do they? Your husband shouldn't be living somewhere else in mere hope of a job - might as well live with you without one, hadn't he, surely?

Why did he move? Surely that's 2 housing costs instead of staying with you and applying for jobs elsewhere until he actually got something to move for.

I'm really sorry that you're struggling, I assume youve done the usual selling bits and pieces on eBay/Vinted/local FB groups?

I'm not quite sure what you are asking. What do you mean when you say "as a mother would you do the same?" You're not his mother! Who insulted you and "chased you away like a dog"? And how is your son's father paying to live in another place if he has no job? None of this makes any sense.

It sounds like you need to speak to the welfare rights team of your local council and citizens rights to talk about money etc. Unless you're on here hoping to find financial assistance from someone on the thread? (it does sound a bit like that tbh).

It does, doesn't it?

Are you the lass that hangs around Piccadilly Station asking people for 50p for train fare?
