What do I do now?

Hi. I don't really know what to say aside from can anyone help me? Don't want to bore with too much detail but basically need help in what I do next.

Partner of 7 years and I have decided to call it a day. I'm heartbroken but there's no repairing things. We have a 2YO. I've been a SAHM since he was born. We aren't married. Both our names on mortgage. So now what? And please, don't come at me for the mistakes I've made there in not having my own financial security, I can't take that right now, I'm well aware.

How are me and DS supposed to get by? I would think ex will pay towards some things but not all. So who do I contact now or where do I turn? Please just help me, I never wanted any of this for my son. I don't really have many people to turn to right now, especially not for financial help, and if it weren't for my son, I'd end it all right now. Steps I need to take please?

Contact the Gingerbread helpline.
Take a look at the Citizen's Advice website
See your GP is you are in crisis. You can also find Crisis helplines here: www.nhs.uk/service-search/mental-health/find-an-urgent-mental-health-helpline

You can also contact the Money Advice Service: www.moneyadviceservice.org.uk/en

You can sell the house and split the proceeds or buy him out. You've only been out of work for two years.

Sorry to hear of your situation OP
I didn’t want to read and run
You will get through this Flowers
Hopefully others will come and give further advice and support

OP you will be entitled to benefits.
You can consider getting your child into nursery (in the next term) while looking for a job. Not ideal and difficult but..
Have you got family you can live with?
You should speak with citizens advice re selling the house and/or a solicitor.
But first speak to a GP and get help with your feelings. Get on a list for counselling ( it’ll take ages but worth waiting for)
Any friends who can help you?

Oh, bless you, OP. Please don't even think of ending it all. You have a beautiful child who will always love you in a special unique way.

You have your life ahead of you and you can get through this, and the future probably has many, many good things in store for you.
