Feeling trapped

I feel really trapped, isolated and depressed. I live in a tiny house that we are over crowded in away from any of the little family I actually have. I feel trapped. We moved here because when me and my husband met 13 years ago he worked around here and we went to college around here. I'm a stay at home mum and I have no one. Now he works in the town I grew up in where I wish I could move back to. I regret moving away from there because it's what I knew and it's where my mum lives and even though me and my mum have a strained relationship it would still be helpful to live close to rebuild things and so I have a bit of a support network. There is nothing for us here anymore as my husband works at a different place now. My kids go to school here but I'm not happy and this house is depressing me. We are overcrowded, the house is full of mould but we have tried everything to sort it but nothing works. It's an housing association house and they insist I just have to live with it. I contacted my local MP but nothing came out of it. I also have no one around that can help with the kids. My mum said if I lived near her she could help with the kids a lot more. But we can't afford to private rent.. we would be worse off if we went to private rent and we wouldn't manage. We can't buy either ( we don't have any deposit). So I feel extremely trapped. I have put my name on the council list but the way housing is we have very little chance of getting anywhere. I think I just want to rant really as I feel depressed about my situation.

Didn’t want to read this and not respond even though I have nothing useful to say Sad

Have you tried Citizens Advice? They may be able to help more with the housing situation?
