Hi, I live with my mum and 2 siblings. My mum had received a section 21 notice back in March. We were struggling to find housing and she has been out of work since February due to severe health issues that started last year. I had contacted shelter and was advised to contact my council for housing which I had done. I graduated from university last year and have been my mum and my siblings carer.

My sister and I used to share a room but since their MH issues worsened (2024) I had to move to the living room (my belongings are still in our bedroom) I can only enter the bedroom if they are there and if they are in a good mood) Last week, my sister had an episode and was very angry at me and had threatened to throw out my things from the room. She was in a MH crisis and I had to call 101. The police and paramedics had come and this had made my situation more difficult. My mum did not agree with me calling 101 and had said she wants me to leave (she has said this a lot in the past too) I think I made a mistake because in the night I was very scared and I had applied for “housing advice” I didn’t know that this was a homelessness application. I was sick of my situation and just wanted advice on what I can do. (I had a plan to move out but I have been unemployed since graduation and have little to no savings left) I am really scared that I did the wrong thing and it would affect my mums application (I am also named in her application and manage/help her with this and every other forms/documentations).

My mum had calmed down since then and has told me that she will not kick me out but my relationship with my sister is strained and there is still tension/ arguments in the house. I do almost everything in the house (care responsibilities, bills, appointments and documentation) and I do not want to cause any issues for them nor leave them when they are sick but I also hate the living situation I am in. My mum had told me that she does not want me to move out and will disown me if I do leave. I have not told anyone that I have made the application. I really don’t want to cause her more trouble as she is already going through a lot.

I am not sure what to do I spoke to the homelessness caseworker today and they want to have more in-depth appointment next week to assess my claim. I am scared this will cause issues as they have sent me forms to sign that I didn’t need to for my mums application. I seriously don’t know if I am doing the right thing. I don’t know what will happen next and if this will have a negative affect on my mums application or cause my family issues. I would be grateful if someone can point me to a good direction. Thank you
