advice needed please

hi all
i am currently studying adult nursing and am about 6 months into my course however over the last few months me and my partner have been going through a rough patch and feel that it is coming to an end. so basically i was wondering if there is anyway i could carry on my course if we split up. i have 3 children and have no family around apart from his and feel they wont want to help if we split also i have to drive hour and a half everyday to get to uni. is there anyone else who is in a similar situation and makes it work would appreciate any advice as really dont know where to turn or what to do.

hiya hun, am sorry to hear about your situation. i was in a similar situation 6 years ago but didn't manage to get to uni, had 3 kids no support network from family so i couldn't go to uni because of this. since then i have had another child and applying as my situation changed slightly, i have support from her father. could the children's father not help out if you do split? i would ask his family directly if they would still support you if the worst did happen, hope you do find the support to carry on with your studies and the best of luck xx

Hi honey, so sorry to hear about your situation.
I would suggest talking to your tutor in uni, just be honest with your situation and let them know your concerns. I'm sure they will give you all the help and advice that you'll need. I was doing an English degree when I fell pregnant with my first child and my uni were so so supportive which I didn't expect at all. You may be able to have access to extra finance if you're on your own and they may have child care information which could be really useful for you.
I'd also talk to your partners family, at the end of the day you all need to put the children's interests first and they will have to understand that.

Hope I haven't waffled too much! Chin up X
