The mother of a three-year-old boy in my Pre-School took her own life today.

Two weeks ago, she lost her job. On Monday, she was told she had to wait 6 weeks until her first Universal Credit payment. 1/3

Yesterday, she was unable to get a food parcel because she couldn& #39;t prove she needed it.

And today, she took her own life, and has left a three-year-old boy and his 7-year-old sister without a mother, and now in the care of total strangers from social services. 2/3

I can& #39;t tell you how heartbroken you feel seeing that child playing quite normally, completely unaware that his whole world is about to turn upside down.

I haven& #39;t stopped crying since I& #39;ve got home. 3/3
