I feel trapped in my relationship and I can't seem to see a way out of it.
The problem is that I work two jobs. One is term time only so ok but the other is afternoon to early in the morning and every weekend. I need him to be there for the dc.
He works in the morning until lunchtimes.
Monday -Saturday. I have no family who could look after them in the evenings or school holidays and we live in a small place where there are no holiday clubs.
I was on UC for a few weeks after my youngest DC turned 5 and before i got my second job and it was awful!
We still get some UC, the child bit and a small amount of housing benefit. But they are very threatening about not working enough hours and threatening sanctions in text messages and letters. I'm worried if I have to give up work or work less hours then I will be in trouble with them.
I feel like I'm trapped and can't see a way to manage without him to look after the dc which he does pretty badly anyway.
