I was in that situation - you will make it work! I work three days a week , get help towards childcare , just been accepted for a mortgage on my own- its strange that im actually better off being on my own! If you need more info etc message me xx
I’m a single mother me n my ex split b4 the LO was 2yo. He worked I stayed home which was the plan. Now that he’s gone I’m still at home with my LO bc daycare absolutely scares the hell outta me I stayed home with all my babies till they started school. I’m currently trying to find a work from home job but right now I survive solely on child support I’m also a process server but that’s when needed. I’m not gonna lie I struggle but I have family to help if I need it but as mothers we make it work somehow.
I’m going thru this as well and it’s been a month. I was in the same boat as you, regarding the small amount of funds that were left, even only pay 50% of the costs. I found that it’s much easier for me to save money without my ex being around. Given, I made more than him. I’m a social worker and even then, we don’t really make a lot of money. I had to make a lot of sacrifices and budgeted pretty intensely, but we are making it by. My ex hasn’t provided for our son at all, even when we were married( I just filed for child support). It’s tough, but honestly it’s doable. Like one of the comments said, Moms just make it happen. I wish you all the luck. Honestly I was just in your position, my needs were not being met, but his were and he was quite abusive. It’s extremely empowering to stand up for yourself and do what’s best for you and your little babe. ❤️
I'm in the same boat, more or less. And I live in London. But yeah I'm determined, concerned about housing though currently having to move out the flat. But like others say will make it work somehow!
I’ve just gone through this and trust me you can make it worth!!!! DM me if you feel comfortable to xx
