Hi I would ask the council if you can apply for affordable housing where the rent would be lower and you may qualify for help to pay. Also tell them about the abusive relationship as they will take this into account when assessing your need to be housed.
I hope you manage to break free.
The autism thing is still puzzling to me (she had also self diagnosed and although I couldn’t see it, I asked for an assessment due to the fact she was convinced that she was trans for a few years). Until very recently she was also unable to get a job (her bf got her a few hours at the restaurant he works in where she doesn’t have to talk to anyone so seems to suit her) and I had been thinking that at least with her diagnosis she would be able to claim a disability benefit if she couldn’t get a job. Good luck and come back if you need to chat.
Hi I don’t know what the answer is but just wanted to let you know You are not alone. My daughter is very similar only her drug of choice Is ketamine. She was diagnosed with autism at 16 and I wonder if this complicates things further as she doesn’t seem to understand the gravity of what she does. IDK maybe it’s generation thing. Whatever the case it’s terrifying and painful to feel so helpless and hated (yes I feel like she hates me or at least shows no signs that she cares about me or her dad who she rarely sees). Anyway like I said I’m sorry I don’t know the answer but it seems a lot of us are in the same boat and that although drugs problems are not new, it seems to me that this generation are different as many apparently don’t care what their parents think.
