worst week of my live!!!!

[fee25]

am going through a break up with my partner and we put our flat up for sale on monday and sold by the wednesday (didnt think it would sell so quick) if i dont find somewhere in 6 weeks for me and the kids i will be homeless. ive been looking at private lets but everyone i look at doesnt accept housing benefit and council wont do anything till am out the flat in 6 weeks and as if i wasnt stressed enough about all that i was involved in a car accident on wednesday and that has totally shook me up (accident wasnt my fault but still feel quilty about it)

this has been the worst week ever and doesnt help ive already have mh problems. ive been trying to stop drinking but ive gave in and now i just wanna go out and get very drunk and take pills to forget about it all cuz i cant see anything getting any better

Didn't want to read run. Here for hand holding and if you want to offload. Have you any help from family? Could you live with them nd get a council house that way? Sorry to read your breaking up and about the accident. Hugs

yeh my mum said i could stay with her just i know we will fall out after a day just annoyed the council wont do anything the now when they know am gonna be homeless and my ex agreed the move in date without me and its me still staying there and hd hes back at his mums and my mum on holiday then

Why will you be homeless?
Surely there will be money from from the flat sale?

Hi fee - if the flat was in your joint names and there is any equity, then you are entitled to half of that equity. Is this the case?

The LA have a duty to investigate the circumstances as you are in priority need because you have dependent children. They are meant to carry out this investigate for anyone who is threatened with homelessness. Thing is there are so many homeless families now because of this bloody govt that they just don't have enough accommodation.

The best people to get in contact with are SHELTER - they have a website or you can phone. They are the "frontrunners" for your sort of problem.

we are joint owners but the flat sold at 4000 less than what we paid for it and am getting the money i put in for the deposit but that wasnt alot my ex partner paid most of the bills etc as i dont earn that much

i currently have 6 points with the council which isnt alot

I see.
Can you contact somewhere like shelter or cab for advice?
Will your partner give you money for the dc?
I can understand why you would feel like getting drunk and trying to forget your problems but I am sure you know it would only create more and you would be spending money you haven't got :(
