No money at all for food and rent

  • I am a carer for my youngest son. My older son works and pays me rent, which was unfortunately in the account when all this happened.
    £300 was for 2 cars, his and his girlfriend's. It's all kind of happened at the worst possible time!
    I spoke to the job centre today and then the council. They said they can help with gas, electric and food on monday so I'll just have to cope until then. It's better than nothing.
    Thanks for your replies

    Do you have a local gurdwara? They often provide langar (free meal) one day a week and often that is Saturday or Sunday.

    And please open a new basic bank account into which all your income is paid and to which OH has no access.

    If you cannot do that to protect your child, you need seriously to consider whether to allow him to stay.
    If you've have not made a mistake, you've made nothing
