First of all, you're doing a fantastic job. You sound like it's all just going a bit wrong at the moment, and you're coping well, so stay strong. Go to this site
www.citizensadvice.org.uk
and book yourself an appointment with them. Then can offer free advice about debt management and housing and such, and I imagine they can also tell you whether you need to apply for more money from your ex (even if it means dragging him to the CSA). Also, I think it would help if you spoke to a counsellor, because it sounds like you have a lot of things you need to get out, and a counsellor can help. Also, you don't want to slip into depression. Stay strong, you'll get there.
