I went on a date with this man, he agreed to pay for the food we ate and now he is telling me to transfer back the money to him
Divine Doti, a 29-year-old single mother, shared her challenging living situation with her two grown-up twins and her two younger twins.
In 2020, she was accommodated into a one-bedroom emergency accommodation by the Haringey Council in North London.
However, despite being added to the housing lists, she found out she was pregnant for the second time last year, again with twins making it more challenging for her.
During an interview with The Sun, Divine expressed the difficulties of her living situation, she said: “There’s no space in the bedroom for all of us to sleep in.
“We all sleep in the living room. My older two sleep on mattresses on the floor. The babies sleep in their own bassinets.
“It’s not fair that I’m still recovering from my C-section, I’m still in pain and I’m sofa surfing, every single night. Can you imagine how uncomfortable that is?
“The sofa isn’t even that big, it’s a cheap sofa.
“I am experiencing pain every single day. It’s affecting my mental health, I’m struggling with depression right now.
“I’m literally stuck. What am I supposed to do? I can’t move my children into bigger beds for their development because there’s no space.”
“I feel like I’ve literally been abandoned by the council, they are not doing anything to help at all.
She continued: “All my emails are going unanswered, my calls are going straight to voicemail. No one is listening to me.
“I’ve sent them a string of emails since December – email after email after email.
“I just feel like I’ve been left neglected, no one cares.”
“It’s very hard being the sole provider and feeling like you don’t have control over things. I feel like I’m restricting them.”
“If it was just my older children and me, I can at least just layer up but I’ve got newborn babies, they need the warmth,” she said.
“I’m having to have the heating on every single day.”
