Single mums how do you afford it?
I’m in a emotional abusive relationship and Iv told him I want to leave but he says I can’t we have kids and a house and I’m trapped and can’t afford the kids he will use his money and fight me for them full time. This isn’t even the worst. He calls me awful names I don’t want to repeat and the worst father.
The mortgage is 660, my car is 235, food shopping around 400pm, petrol 20-40, childcare 800 pm, and I know I’ll have to pay gas’s, electricity, water, council tax. (I don’t pay them so I don’t know the price) with my wage and benefits I’ll probably bring home around 2000. I don’t think that will cover it all… am I really stuck? What do I do? I want to leave him In not attracted or in love. I want to move on.
I have no family they passed away or live far away.
