Hello and and yes they can but it depends upon the severity of your current living situation, your needs and age.
I myself have recently been moved in to the care of social services due to my high risk and vulnerability of living with my parent but as I am under 18 and disabled it was straightforward and quick. -
I'm over 40 I've been up and down da country since lockdown
I ended up at my parents the same place I left many yrs ago due to abuse
My current property is not safe due to disrepair and harrassment hence
I have multiple hralth problems both physical and mental
I'm sick of government not talking housing seriously

When you're an adult, it's a totally different story.I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please.

Hi all
Is there any point in carting on -
I meant carrying on.
-
Please explain, @hass. Sorry if I'm being a bit dim here.
Is there any point in carrying on... Life, debate, trying to stay positive? I'm not quite sure what you are referring to? -
Life I don't wana be around
There is nothing postive its dark its been like this long time
-
Hi @hass
Sorry you are feeling like this is your situation still the same
If you are in immediate danger or thinking of harming yourself please contact the samaritans or 999 for assistance
There is support out there to help you -
Hi I don't need this help .
I' need to get away from my family
-
@hass - perhaps you should have told your solicitor about the abuse you've suffered from your family, then she might have understood that better. There will be a way through this. Please talk at any time to us here; there's usually someone about. Life is important, & there will be positive things. Take care.

Ok I was just concerned with you saying life you didnt want to be around anymore
-
Thank you all .
I'll speak tommorow xxxx -
Hi @hass, really sorry to hear this... Of course I don't know your circumstances but I can tell you that ten years ago I managed to move away from the home I shared with a family member who had been abusive towards me for many years. If I hadn't moved away I would have either gone mad or worse. It turned out to be the best thing I ever did. I found myself again, after being brow-beaten for so long.
At the time, I was assisted by the Council in finding me another flat.
It may depend on how old you are and what your circumstances are, as to who could help you. Please explore other avenues. I thought I would never get away but if I could do it, I hope you can too. And once you do, you'll feel very differently. Freedom from abusive people is priceless. I wish I could help you more. I wish you all the best. -
Hi @hass I'm also sorry to hear that you're still struggling with your housing situation, and that you're feeling so low. I've sent you an email, so please do give that a read when you get a moment, and let us know if there's anything else we can do to help.
