Not sure where to turn

Hi all,

I’m really stressed at the moment about my current situation.

I’ve been living at home all of my life but within the next month or two my dad is putting the family home on the market. He is buying a 2 bed bungalow that is very small, not enough room for everyone and essentially has said if I want to come with I can sleep in the garden. My relationship with him isn’t very good, he is abusive.

I had to give my job up last year due to a disability so I’m receiving universal credit, that wouldn’t cover private renting as I have already tried to explore that option I’ve also tried to apply for jobs that I can do from home but I’ve had no luck so far.

I don’t know what to do now as within the next few months I could be sleeping in a tent, anyone who has been in a similar situation what are the options?

Any help greatly appreciated, thanks so much!
