relationship breakdown with 2 small children

[Freddie15VES]

so long story short

• during pregnancy/post partum my boyfriend had been texting brothels about services eg. said he didn’t go but how am i to know
• he has major issues with alcohol and weed
• we tried again - promised to sort himself out but didn’t (stupid me)
• the other night he went out with work, rocked up at 5am hammered, had a text from a girl on his phone and wouldn’t let me look to see what it said and instead shouted at me and told me to fuck off infront of our son
• ive got home today and asked to look at his phone and he’s deleted nearly all his texts and also his deleted items folder (suspicious)

so yeah i think im done but how do i navigate this?

can i get benefits?

how do i tell my 3.5 year old!?

Sorry you are going through this, it's really his loss.

Try and get a plan together to leave, get on a local housing list and enquire about benefits to support you in the up coming weeks. You will find your feet again, but please don't stay in a relationship that is causing so much pain and upset.

Focus on you and the children.

If you google housing association and low income support you may find some advice, alternatively you can call citizens advice. They will be able to point you in the right direction x
