This is complex, but looking for advice or reassurance from others who have been through similar.
I had my own property and sold it for the deposit to buy with partner, blending our families together. It’s not working, and it’s down to how I feel. All the children have needs and I guess I needed support and was lonely, thinking this would be the answer, and it’s not - it’s making me mentally ill.
I don’t know what to do as have nothing. No job now as mental health in bits. Can hardly function, and last year got as bad as mental health can go…. I am scared for another change for my kids and the trauma that may bring to them, but cannot go on like this.

Can you sell the property and use your share to buy another house?

Mum20z · 22/04/2026 19:24

No, as I’ll no longer be able to get a mortgage as I did in 2010 when buying my sole home as gave up my career for part time work when had family

What about part ownership/housing association? You can speak to Citizen's Advice for some help and support. Are you getting some help for your mental health? Do you have a community mental health team you could speak to?
