Leaving a Relationship With Children

Leaving a relationship with no money and a child/children is one of the hardest things to do. If this is your current situation, or something you are planning to do, please know that you are not alone. This takes courage, and even thinking about leaving can feel overwhelming when you have so many worries and responsibilities.

You don’t have to have everything figured out all at once. Sometimes, the first step is simply reaching out and finding out what support is available to you. Asking for help is not a weakness — it is a brave and important step towards creating a safer and more secure future for you and your children. ❤️

Rise Up Girl are here to listen and support you where we can.

Did you know that there are charities and organisations readily available to help? Support can include financial information, emergency accommodation, food banks, advice around benefits and much more.

Action for Children has lots of useful information, links and advice on their website, including guidance for parents who are considering leaving a relationship with no money and children:https://parents.actionforchildren.org.uk/home-family-life/money/leaving-a-relationship-with-no-money-and-a-child/

When leaving a relationship, there can be so much uncertainty. So many questions, worries and things to think about. Try not to put pressure on yourself to solve everything at once. Focus on the most important things first — somewhere safe to stay, food, water, warmth and making sure you and your children are safe.

If you are frightened, worried about your safety, or unsure where to begin, please reach out for support. You don’t have to navigate this alone.

If you need help finding charity or support information in your local area, please contact us at riseupgirl@outlook.com.

One small step is still a step. 💛
