Hi, my severely autistic son is nearly 17, he spends 5 nights in respite and 2 nights at home plus one evening visit. His Dad and I are separated but still live in the same house with our other children. The house is in his name but I do have a registered financial interest and the house can't be sold by him for another 4 years. However, he wants the house sold now and no longer wants to provide for our son as he has sacrificied enough and wants to get on with his life. As you can imagine the living arrangements are pretty toxic but I cannot get help from the local council to find somewhere to live as I have the interest in the property, but no private landlord will take us as I will be on housing benefit. My ex has stated I will never get my share of the sale of the house so I may have to fight him in court for it and I don't work. If I did work I still couldn't afford the rent on a property that would be big enough to house my son and other children. Nobody seems to be able to give me advice or help me and I spend my time so anxious and upset I can't see a way forward and feel such a failure that I cant provide a home for my children. Any ideas anyone?
