Forget about getting help from MPs and HDB.  Just a waste of time.  <br /><br />Are you renting a room in a condo?  A Master bedroom in HDB would set you back at around $500 to $700 depending on whether it comes furnished or not. A common room would be around $400 to $600.</p>

I can only imagine how difficult things are for you now... not sure if I can do better if I am in your position, but what I know is that if you have a child, your life is not just about yourself anymore.  Your child deserves that best you can give to him - because he is YOUR child.  Put yourself in his shoes and try to imagine what his life would be without you, then ask yourself - are you better off now in your current situation than him without you, a child without a mother AND a father?<br /><br />Did you read <a href="http://www.kiasuparents.com/kiasu/content/feisty-princess">http://www.kiasuparents.com/kiasu/content/feisty-princess</a>?
