I am hoping that some of you may have some advice, hope, for me.
A bit of background: I am a step mum to a young teenage girl and have younger kids of my own. We have all lived very happily together for four or more years. Then the young teen goes to secondary school and accuses me of all sorts to the teachers at her school. The school initially put it down to teenage behavior. Then the school nurse gets involved as the child had marked herself at her bio-mums house. The teen has been to see mental health professionals who said she was depressed. Now social services are involved.
All the stress which has been going on for nearly a year had caused our family to split. Unfortunately my ex can't buy me out of the house ( I can't as I don't work, stay at home mum. I put in my life savings as a deposit).
The atmosphere is horrible.
I am at a loss as to what to do. I am at breaking point. Please help.
And yes in hindsight life savings as a deposit was a big mistake.
