Single mama

Hey! I’m a mom to a 14-month-old. Her father officially left us, so that leaves me a single mom. I am not coming after him for child support because I don’t want him having rights to our daughter. Please don’t hate, but we’ve had a toxic relationship and he’s been abusive, so him leaving was a good choice for us all. What worries me is being able to support my daughter and I. I work part time, making only $500/week. Rent is $1200/month plus all the other bills. I’m left without a car. How do you single moms do this? I want to be able to support myself and my child, but everything is so expensive nowadays that I’m scared I’ll struggle. I’m heartbroken that he left, but I know it’ll be better for my daughter to live in a happy home instead of an abusive one. Please help. What can I do to help myself? Any advice is appreciated!
