Hello - sorry to hear about your problems. It sounds as if you have got a lot to think through. First thing. When you say you were unhappy - is this because of your partner? When a baby comes along, things do change in the relationship and I suppose you need to think through whether there is anything in the relationship worth saving. If it really is over, then two things. Make sure the new guy is in a place to make you happy - you know, is he available and how will he get on with your kid? About the money and benefits - why not ask Citizens Advice what your rights are? You could also go back to the home choice people and explain that you are looking for a place ( I presume you are taking the baby) Good luck. Mairs

sorry but if you have found love with someone else that should be what your question should be based on not if you can afford to leave him. You will have to speak to council to get housed if you arnt in a position to afford living alone.
