Leaving my OH with our 1 year old

So I'm pretty sure I've made my decision, I'm leaving my OH.
Things have just been going downhill since we had our son... Getting worse the past few months.
He has been off work ill for the last few months, I know he's getting depressed about his condition and not being able to work at the moment.
But I can't take his attitude anymore.

Our tenancy isn't up until March, so I guess we have to live civil until then and then go our separate ways.
But I've no idea where to start to start again on my own with a toddler!
How will I afford a place on my own?
I've just put my notice in and got a job with more hours, how can I do that on my own?
I'll just be working to pay for childcare, and I don't see the point in that.

I can go back to my mums for a while but obviously I'd rather spend these 3 months sorting a place to go myself and getting myself back on my own 2 feet.

Help! Please!

Surely you will get help with childcare via benefits like universal credit
You have a few months to look into what you would be entitled to and you will need a rental deposit

I second universal credit they will be able
To help you out with housing benefit elements and possibly some other things.

Have you tried a benefit calculator to see what you could be entitled to?
