I am a single parent of a very demanding 2 year old, I live on my own, on a council estate, I am desparate to go back to work (sponging off the social is something I can't bare doing). I'm trying to find a way to beat 'the system'. I have contact with his father, he comes around for 1 hour most weeks, and gives me the odd tenner, but this hardly helps. If he gave me legal support, it would only be taken out of my much needed benifits. My Mum & Dad have recently seperated (wich make matters worse) My Dad lives close by but never asks if he can help, apart from slipping me the odd £20. My Mum lives 80 miles away, and although she would help if she could, she can hardly nip around the corner to help if I need her (she cannot drive, and has just started up a new business with her new partner). I take the train to stay with my Mum & new husband (wich I like) quite often, But I know this is not the answer.When I'm there we're happy (I can SLEEP),but when I leave all I do is cry, pls help.
