Im leaving my lt relationship, currently sleeping separately.
theres verbal abuse on his part but not all the time but its come to the end of the road.
I have been waiting for social housing for months with no luck.
ex partner owns the property we are in now so i have to leave,
im currently unemployed as im a carer and full time parent.
has anyone been in similar position? I have looked at private rentals but they are too expensive, i understand I would get help towards rent but not all & i don’t have any extra money to pay the rest.
I believe my ex is a cover narcissist so have to be careful.

Are you getting carers allowance? Is the ex the dad of your children?

Is the person you care for a family member? If so could you move in with them?

If not is there the possibility of moving your caree into funded care of some type so that you have more opportunity to seek paid work?

Have you calculated what you would get from your ex for child maintenance if relavent?

How old is your child? Can you get a job in term time? I would go to Citizen's Advice for financial and housing advice.
