    Hi Tina - welcome to DFW threads. I cant really add any more advice other than what has been said already. I hope you manage to get somewhere sorted out for you and your son.

    All the best

    Can you not go back to dr & get him to sigh you off?
    Could you not get a private rent & get HB to pay for it?

    i want to re-train possibly in the health care section

    I am currently doing an OU (Open University) degree and I can't speak highly enough. The OU do loads of health type courses. See here

    http://www3.open.ac.uk/courses/classifications/health_and_social_care_health_studies.shtm

    This would not be an immediate fix and it might take a few years for you to get a degree/diploma, but it would give you a real opportunity for the future, and would do wonders for your self esteem.

    Keep posting.

    Think i will go back to Dr's...renting from H/A is only costing £216.00 p/m privatley i would have to probably just more than double that, and when i do get a job i could never afford the rent so H/A is safer more secure option for the time being

    Couldn't have put it better myself! Everyone here will give you so much help and support, its great that you feel able to talk to us all about it.

    I, for one, will be thinking about you and hoping you manage to get some improvements, might be slow but at least in the right direction. I'm sure I'm not the only one who'll be waiting for your posts - to keep us updated or let us know when you feel low.

    Good luck at the job centre tomorrow, I hope they are helpful with regard to the training idea.

    Best of luck with everything and take care :D

    Hi Tina and big ((hugs)) from me too.

    Just to add my support and my thoughts are with you and your son and praying you get moved soon. Sounds dreadful.

    Always good to meet another Stardrops and microfibre cloth convert too! :D

    As others say, keep posting and we'll help all we can.

    I havent really got anything useful to add but I would just like to say that I felt really shocked when I read your story of what you have to put up with. I hope that you manage to move to a better area soon and I agree with you, you definitely have to go for the sake of your son and your health. Sometimes in life you have to get out of situations, whatever the cost. I would not want to spend one day in your environment. I hope you will be able to keep it all together because your son really needs you. I send you hugs too and the best of luck.
