I am a single parent, and feel that I need to get back out into the work force.

Although I myself have no close family members of my own and I don’t speak to my child’s father nor his side of the family. I don’t have many friends and yes I am depressed over a number of many different things. But I feel I am ready to go back to work, my only issues or concern with it is I don’t have support from my child’s father’s side of the family, I don’t have any friends close enough to be able to babysit for me and also have the time themselves to babysit for me I would gather, and nor can I afford to put him into daycare facilities. I am just at a loss as to what to do considering I feel I am ready to go back to work, but at the same time I have many obstacles in respects to my child.

If you are you can claimed working tax credit and you will get money towards your childcare, it will mean that you need a proper nursery or childminder, if you are outside the UK then it may be worth looking into these options, seeing if you can find a job with a creche or employees that will give you flexitime
