Single mummy now. Ex cheated on me whilst off his tits on drugs then goes around accusing me of cheating. Now he's made me homeless and the council won't do anything. I'm basically living in a park and am not getting any help it seems
@ezchaz, aww that’s sweet hun, thanks. I cried so much I don’t think I have any more tears left. I was really heartbroken. And need to get out of here ASAP. But I’m due anyday now and at least I’m sleeping with a roof over my head. But when the health visitor has to visit me after I’ve had the baby, they’ll be able to see how I’m currently living and hopefully able to help me with my battle. But I just want to have the baby first and get some strength back then I will keep going down to the council.
Some people can be so heartless and I completely understand why Emorris336 is going through right now. Such a hard time especially when you have no one who will take you in. It’s not easy at all.
I was in the exact same boat a few weeks ago. My ex and I split up and he asked me to leave his house and made me homeless. 34 weeks pregnant I was and he didn’t care. I went to the council and they got back to me late and I had to pay for a hotel for the night and the next day I went back and they told me they’d be offering me a temporary accommodation then turned around and said because I have a child and I’m pregnant I need to go back to my ex’s house because I have rights to the house because we have a child together. I’m not on his tenancy and I ended up sleeping in my car for a week, my body couldn’t take anymore of it so I went to the GP to complain and they made referrals to the council and someone from the social services contacted me. I used that as a threat towards my ex to say this could effect our little 2 year old and I couldn’t be sleeping rough, he allowed me back in the house but it sucks living here now. We don’t chat to each other my daughter moves inbegwen the living room and bedroom to be with us when his home. It’s bad enough when parents aren’t together but for my little girl to see this is not something I want her to grow up with and I’m currently 39 weeks pregnant due Saturday.
I got tired of going to the council so I’m waiting to pop then I’m gonna go and insist on getting help. I have a roof over my head but there is literally no space to move around and no place to put the baby’s things.
I have a family support worker working with me at the moment so in 6 weeks she’s gonna make a plan for me to follow? Hopefully she will help me with housing.
Go to your gp if you have to because sometimes the council bullies people. Mention it to your midwife too. It sucks to be pregnant and sleeping rough
