Hi,
Im hoping someone can help give me some advice here.
Im stuck in a benitfit trap that i feel i cant get out of. Im so depressed about my whole situation Ive even had thoughts of just running away from everything it would be so much easier.
OK Ill try give a basic post about my situation.
Im on one parent allowance although i do have partner. It came about when i had to move from the family home due to difficulties. I know we couldnt afford the huge rents so if I was on benifits I could get rent allowance.
Anyway now I want out, but dont know which way to turn. I know we cant afford rent on top of everything else on my partners wages, its ok but not great. I dont work at the moment with a young child to look after, but plan to look for part-time work in future. I want us to get married and live together as a ligit couple, but cant see how we can do it. Out rent is €1300 at the moment.
Im on the council housing list and have been for years, if i got a house this would solve the problem of the huge rent and we might have a possibility of standing on our own 2 feet without being crippled by the rent, but I cant see anything happening there for the next few years atleast.
Where do i turn, is it possible for us to survive on our own??
