Im genuinely intrigued. Perhaps you've never had to suffer and that's why your comments can flow so freely when they have no background
Your housing situation - as you've explained it - appears to be:
Accept B&B on offer from council
or
Become homeless
Or is there some other option available?0 -

Perhaps your own assessment of your vulnerability differs from that of those around you. Just because you want something doesn't mean it's going to happen.All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well.
Pedant alert - it's could have, not could of.0 -

You're right, that is what is being offered. Either that or staying with parents until supported accommodation becomes available. But that's not an option because my parents have insisted they won't allow it, and want me out. It's out of my control0 -

Because on Friday you will be sleeping outside primark.
Please explain how you are not grateful that someone would offer you a bed (& breakfast too!!) with a roof over your head?0 -

Begs the question why then, only 2 weeks ago, you were seeking advice on how to conceive a child with this person. Now your pregnant, earning benefits, not earning benefits, living with your partner, living with your parents.
None of it adds up. Too many plot holes.0 -

Right, so accept the B&B and work on it from there.
Your additional needs will be taken into account after your initial need for emergency accommodation has been satisfied.0 -
But I won't be homeless, and there are support networks in place to help me. Just because my family won't have me doesn't mean they're 'so serious', my Mother doesn't like me, it's quite simple. I wouldn't want to bring a child into that toxic household. I sometimes can't climb stairs but my council have bungalows available.0

Those bungalows will most likely be given to someone that is unable to climb stairs at all times.0
