Mary shares her challenges as a single Mum in a private rental during Covid-19. We also go back to follow her story as she grapples with her relationship with Jimmy, the father of her first child. Kiara’s world descends into a living nightmare, and Neen faces an uncaring, impersonal and overly bureaucratic welfare system.

We learn how our social security system is failing single parents, the impact of coercive control and how family violence often looks different from how we imagine it.
