Housing

[KLTINGO]

Afternoon all.

Im in a predicament and in dire need of help and support.
I have an abusive ex partner that I left some time ago, and I have ended up living with my parents for the last few years.
I have 4 children by their father.

I am not working and I have no support from my parents.
I am on a list for council housing, but have been for nearly 3 years.
They have moved me down to a bronze category as my ex had contacted them and falsified some information to prevent me from getting my own place. I have contacted the council to complain, but I remain in the bronze.

My relationship with my parents are becoming tense as I have no control over my life and they are interfering with my parenting to my children so I need to escape for their benefit.
Is there any advice anyone could give me as, without a job, I dont feel like I am all out of options and I dont think I can do it anymore.

Thanks in advance.

move this post over to 'relationships' for better advice on getting away from a bad ex / starting again.

what is stopping you from working? if you can earn some money, you will have a lot more options.

Would your parents be more supportive perhaps if they didn’t have the stress and crampedness of you and four children living in their house with them? As in, would they be more willing to provide at least some childcare or school pick-ups etc so that you could work at least part time? As parietal says, you’ll have more options for housing if you’re in work and earning.

Do submit more recent evidence of your actual situation to the council so they can discount the misinformation your ex gave them; but social housing waiting lists are long in much of the UK, so it’s really going to help you if you’re able and willing to look at other options.

What kind of information did he falsify? Why were they discussing your housing application with your ex? How many bedrooms are in your parents house?
