What can I do? I'm having to sell my house as part of divorce settlement , and it looks like i will not be able to buy again in this area.......I have 2 children with special needs , one is an teenager newly diagnosed with ASD for whom this whole experience has been horrendous, mixed in with Covid, and an older son with Downes Syndrome...who goes to college locally...my daughter has a scholarship to a London college and commutes x 3 a week.......

I dont think I will be able to afford to live in this area but am really worried re relocating for the upheaval this will.mean to the children on top of everything else already.. is there anyone, or any support out there for a family like us, who could help us sort this out?

Thankyou

Speak to your local council and social services and the Mencap helpline and try the carers association as well to support you. Sorry I can’t be more help I do hope you can sort things out best wishes. Speak to your local M.P. See if they can help you as well.
