Evicted because of my 2yr old son

Hi, so I just need some advice as a first time mum. I am currently homeless, as i was living in an abusive situation andI have a 2yr old son. I didnt want him around that and seeing me crying. He's a bubbly little boy, he suspected to be on the autistic spectrum and can be difficult to control especially around people he's not familiar with. Every week a support worker comes over and every week there's a problem with me, I felt like I was being picked on but I thought maybe I was just being paranoid because of my past. For example i was asked about smoking drugs(which i dont, dont even smoke cigarettes), then i was asked about cleaning(i always clean up, my room is never not clean and tidy). I was even asked if I was going to continue staying here twice one week after another and then it became about my son. My son likes to throw toys out the window, he motors skills are very impressive and climb. I have told him lots of times and try to stop him but anyone with a toddler knows how fast they can be. I have finally got him to stop climbing on the window. Today I've been told I have a week to leave because we had a house meeting and my son put his wellie on his hand and was trying to hit another child, of course I told him off. I can see the support work interacts with the other babies but never with my son. Yes he can be hard sometimes but he can be very sweet, he just gets overwhelmed in new places and different people. The support worker never interacts with him so hes not going to be very comfortable so he is going to act out. He's not malious, he's only just learning how to interact with other childeren but because of this and him throwing his toys out the window I have been told I need to leave. Honestly I don't know what to do anymore, I've been put here by the council to get away from abuse and not be homeless and now I'm being put out homeless again. Surely this accommodation wasn't suitable for me and my son, and I feel discriminated against just because my son can be hard to handle. I feel wronged, let down but am I just being sensitive and making excuses?

I think I've been misunderstood, it's not the support worker. It's the company and the referral, I am looking for somewhere to live that's why I'm here to get somewhere to live.

Do you have a SW @Workinprogressstill. If you’ve been given one week to move put you need to speak to them.

If it’s a Refuge, have they you’d you which ruled you have broken?

Get the place you are staying in to put in writing why you can’t stay and their observations of your son’s needs.

contact your social worker to ask for support with the situation.
