I want to leave but have nowhere better to go

[sickofthisboringcrap]

I just typed out a huge paragraph essay about how my DP's been acting lately and thought do you know what? None of this actually fucking matters. I can't deal with anymore petty crap, but I have nowhere to go or at least nowhere I want to go.

On my own I'd be poor, on benefits and probably just as depressed. We have 2 dogs as well so I can't imagine I'd find anywhere else to rent. At my dads I'd be 'welcome' but wouldn't be really. I have only recently got back in touch with my mum and don't know how things will go from there so I can't really risk that especially with DS. I just don't think I'd be happier anywhere else unless I win the lottery which I'm assuming isn't going to happen.

I am starting uni this year which gives me options in the future I guess but I just feel like shit at the moment. I'd like to stay where I am but DP wouldn't leave and I'm not sure I could make him?

Are you in a private rental or social housing? Whose name is on the lease?

Would Uni accommodation be an option? The uni I went to had a block of family flats on site (there was high demand for them) a playpark, a nursery, GP, small supermarket and there were schools in walking distance.

Thanks for replying. Private rental, both names on the lease.

Sounds brilliant but I'll be studying with the OU as I need to keep working.

Could you get a flat and take in a lodger? Maybe another student? I have always rented with my dogs no problem. Offer a doggy deposit which is what we do!!
