Feeling helpless

Hey everyone, I don’t know what to do anymore I feel like my life is just a vicious circle, I live a 1 bedroom flat with my son, I live on the 6th floor and the block of flats isn’t the nicest at all, I just don’t want my son growing up in this kind of environment, my mental health has taken a big dip, I know it’s this flat and not having a support system close to me is not contributing to matters, not only that my son was born with talipes (clubfoot) so he’s got to wear these certain boots and brace, which I haven’t been able to do in ages because that flat is just to hot which makes me feel like I can’t look after his physical health properly which makes me feel rubbish, but no matter what I try I just can not get out of this flat, the council just don’t want to help and I just can not afford to go private rent, I know no one might not be able to help but if I’m honest I really needed to rant

It sounds like you're doing your best. It's been so hot that it would be hard for him to wear his brace etc. Maybe you could find a support group online and see if they have any tips for you and it's always good to chat to people who are going through something similar.
