I can't cope anymore

[justanother]

I just feel I need to tell somebody. I am mum to three children 10,7 and 3. We recently lost out home, staying with my mother but we are such a burden. My 7 year old cries every day and says I hate her. I feel luke I am spiralling down a black whole debt, I can't get out of any of it. I feel like such a rubbish mum I can't even give my children a home. My husband is there but he just says there's no point stressing over things. I have just walked out of the house and got in my car. I honestly feel luke my children would be better off without me, I can't give them a good life. I don't even know why I'm writing this but I just wanted to get it out. I don't know how much longer I can go on pretending everything is okay when it's not.

OP your dc will definitely NOT be better off without you. don't ever think that. They need you. You're going through a very difficult time right now but can get through it.I understand what you mean when you say your DH says to just stop stressing. Sounds like my DH, if only it were that simple.

Have you tried approaching your local CAB office? they are brilliant at helping in these situations and will help you put a plan in place or CAP they specialise in debt counselling for people in financial difficulty - 0800 328 0006.

I think going for a drive is a good idea but go back home after. I know you don't really want to walk away from it all, its just the pressure but you will come through it.

Thanks for replying.
I didn't think they would be able to help me? I might see if I can go and see them, it wouldn't make anything worse I guess.

Citizens Advice Bureau are used to these sorts of situations, there's nothin unique about it and will help you go through your finances and come up with a plan. I know that CAP (Christians Against Poverty) are also brilliant and have helped many come back from the brink of desperation in similar situations to yours. There specialise in debt relief. There IS help out there. Don't feel ashamed to ask, they won't think any less of you and won't be shocked. Please call either CAB tomorrow or CAP and take it from there.
