I am pregnant and want to keep my child, but can't. I cannot even afford rent and will soon be homeless. I was rejected for welfare because my partner and I are common law now and he makes over the cap. Even if I move out, I am not eligible because he would have to pay child support which they say makes me ineligible. The only way is to claim he is not the father and cut him out of my life. But I don't want to take the child's father away because he will be a good dad. However, what he makes is not enough for food, rent, and bills. We live in the cheapest place possible but split everything half. But my money just ran out and I have been applying to jobs every day for 4 months but heard nothing back.
I have bought all of the baby stuff on my own or my family has helped because my partner is trying to cover everything else on his own (food, other expenses, etc). But my family cannot afford much more and definitely can't pay our rent or bills or food.
I am not sure what I can do in this situation. They won't even offer me employment search help but no one will hire a pregnant woman. I feel so trapped. Anyone know if there are foundations or anything that can help?
**Also, I am not lazy! I love work and want to work and have a lot of pride. When I got pregnant, I had a good stable job. It just ended unexpectedly for unrelated reasons. I will return to work as soon as I am able, but we need something from now until then. :(
