I don't know what to do

Hi again

I am struggling with OCD and anxiety. My anxiety is really bad. I have no friends here. I tried to seek and meet new people so I could have good support system but its harder.

I knew that I am in unhealthy relationship with the man who has anger problem and he knows he needs some help. He kept saying that he would get help. He still haven't got help. We just had a baby together two months ago. We bought our new SUV together. My child's father is my provider which means I don't have a job to support myself and my daughter. Now, I am stuck trying to figure what I should do. I do want to get out of this funk with my daughter and I want us to get our own place asap. I am wondering if there are any resources that can help a single mother with kid(s) to get their own place and incomes to support themselves.

Hi there,

I don’t know which state you are located in so it’s hard to attach links to this. I would recommend looking up places within your area that take women and children looking to get away from toxic homes.

There are many great support groups within my area that provide housing, temp child care, and access to find jobs, I believe most areas in the U.S have options like this that help women and their children.

Goodluck and stay safe❤️

There are refuges for abused wives and children, but from UK, I wouldn't know how to contact them from your end.

Sweet friend, I am so sorry you are struggling with this. I have severe anxiety and got on an antidepressant which helped tremendously. Do you have a good doctor you could call to help you? I would also like to suggest some counseling. I have seen counselors in the past and it helps so much. Maybe talking with a professional could help you with some strategies to deal with him when he is angry or upset. Do you have someone you can call? If not, I can connect you with a licensed, professional counselor at no cost to you. Let me know if you'd like their number. I have used this service myself and it's incredibly helpful. I don't have any suggestions on financial help but maybe the counselor could help with that. I am sending a huge hug your way right now.

Good morning,Where does the rest of your family live? have you thought about contacting them, even though they might belong a distance away? Have you thought about finding a church to attend and meet people that way? Most towns/ cities have protective housing for single moms and their children. You can get a hold of the county health department or your doctors and they can direct you to that housing for mothers and their children. They can also help you find a job and protective babysitting for your baby. There are many programs out there that can help you out too; The WIC program, SNAP program, Section 8 housing program... I hope that you can find something here to help you. God bless you!

I guess it depends where you live, so I would try searching on the internet for women's support , women's shelters maybe, anyplace you could call to get more information. It seems like it would be extremely difficult from your situation, if you had family you could contact may help. I hope your able to find what you need, sending you positive and hopeful thoughts for you..
