No emotional support

Hi, single parent here. I’m going through a really rough time at the moment. I’m on the verge of getting evicted if I don’t pay my rent arrears by Monday. I’ve resigned myself to the fact that me and my daughter are going to be homeless because I can’t come up with the money. It’s been an awful couple of weeks since I got the notice seeking possession, and it’s made me realise that I don’t actually have anyone to turn to for emotional support.

I’ve always felt a bit lonely being a single parent. My friends were either coupled up or married, and tended to socialise with other couples, and the ones who were single were out partying a lot. I’ve never had any spare cash to do stuff like that so those friendships dwindled. I have some friends at work, but they’re more just colleagues and we don’t really chat about personal stuff.

I’ve been crying a lot lately and panicking about what’s going to happen and I just wish I had some proper friends for emotional support. I can’t even remember the last time anyone gave me a hug (apart from my daughter of course.) I just feel utterly alone.
