After a relationship breakdown resulted in a divorce, I had to leave my family home. It was really hard to find a place to live and I struggled mentally. I had to leave my children and this was really hard for me.
In 2020 I suffered a mental breakdown, which meant I had to spend some time in hospital and I was diagnosed with non-organic psychosis. I lost my job and it made it difficult to maintain a sense of stability in my life. I was also evicted from my property because I was not able to pay rent while I was out of work.
I am now getting myself back on track. I have the support and treatment that I need and I have returned to work in the construction industry. I am excited to find somewhere stable to call my own. Having the support feels great - it motivates me to work harder and strive to be a better person and father.
I am currently studying towards a qualification that would allow me to become a fully qualified construction site manager. In the future, I hope to achieve this goal, whilst having my own place that my children can come and stay in. This will allow me to be comfortable in both my mind and my whole self.
