So I'm 10weeks pregnant and partner walked out last night. I think he left me for someone he works with but I'm not sure. He hasn't been happy for a while, I don't know why. I'm a stay at home mum to three children under 5years of age. My children are hurt, I'm hurt, I don't know how we are going to live or pay rent as I have no money coming in. I have no friends. I'm so lost hurt and alone don't know how I am going to cope :(

I'm so sorry to hear this. You will cope - any mum of 3 under 5s is a heroine and STRONG.
You will be entitled to financial help through benefits of some kind and there will be plenty of moral support for you on here.
What about family?

Thank you for your kind words. I've not long moved to Leeds as my grandparents live here, I don't have any contact with the rest of my family. My grandparents are elderly so don't want to rely on them too much. I don't know anyone else in Leeds. Absolute nightmare this is. Feel so sad for my children. My now ex is the one that had a car and drove so its going to be even harder next week as my son starts his new school which is over a mile away :( x

Cab would be a good place to go re benefits etc.
Is the school walkable - there are some flatter bits, but if you've got a big hill it might be more difficult.

What can we say :( You must be so upset and angry. You'll get through it though, you know you will. Its going to be so difficult but you will be stronger for it and he will have nothing but his guilt to live with.

What's your housing situation like - are you renting? If so, private or housing association landlord? I would think that your most pressing things to do tomorrow should be CAB to sort out what benefits you can get and get them applied for, and letting your landlord know.
