Hello.
I’m nearly (removed by moderator) and stuck in a rented property with my sons.
They have no respect really for me. Nag for money. I’m disabled now on benefits.
I am now on the housing list but band D.
I get verbal abuse and just stay in bed all day.I’ve given up.
The house is a tip. I can’t do much but I can’t tidy up after adults.
The police were involved once and I have been threatened in the past and doors broken when they punched them.
My GP knows as a counselor wrote to her. I’m ashamed to talk about it as I’ll break down. I just want my own flat so I can look after my health and be happy without constant stress 😩 -

I suffered abuse in the past.
Being on benefits, I don’t have enough to private rent.
I can’t walk far either so can’t go for a walk.
Is there any support I can get please?
A lot more has/is going on but I don’t feel safe writing it in case someone sees -

Hi This sounds a really difficult situation for you to mange. You deserve to feel safe and free in your own home. It is good you have some support from a counsellor and that your GP is in the picture. Could you now speak to your GP? Or the council ? They may be able to help you access the support you need. You can also call police if you are not safe xx

Hi mum@pop,
As Watersprite expressed, this way of living in your own home is unacceptable and you deserve to feel safe in the place you live. Please do not feel ashamed about your situation. The shame all goes on your sons who are unfortunately causing this dilemma for you.
Another service to reach out to would be your local domestic abuse service. Explain all that is happening with the abuse from your sons and that you have support needs around your physical health. A support worker should be able to advocate to housing to help make you more of a priority need to be rehoused. You GP and counsellor can help attest to your needs for rehousing as well to help your case.
I hope you get the specialist help you need. Take care and keep posting to let us know how you get on.
Lisa
