However, after sharing her story some cruel trolls expressed little sympathy for the mum, who was facing uprooting her entire life.
She claimed she received the two months notice because of an argument with her "idiot" landlord.
"The landlord didn't fix some sockets in our kitchen in reported in March, he turned up in June and wondered why I was angry," she explained in the viral clip.
According to Citizen's Advice, after formally notifying your landlord of issues they should respond in a reasonable timeframe, so it's no wonder the mum wasn't happy with how slow things were moving.
Not only that, the mum said she's been living in the home with her son for seven years, so she'd well and truly settled in.
"I've just got the boy into a school right by this house and now he's given me two months to move," she added.
According to the mum, during her seven years in the home she'd never been late with rent and had in fact always paid three days early.
But none of that mattered to the harsh landlord, who decided to chuck the mum and her son out.
Things went from bad to worse for the mum because she admitted she wouldn't be able to gather enough money for a deposit for another rented house in the timeframe given, leaving her in limbo.
Luckily, many people offered support in the comment section, with one urging the mum to take the landlord to court.
Tenants catch out landlord's sly 'overcharging trick' - and now they've won massive $34,000 payout
"Don't leave before the bailiffs come," one person commented.
"This is a revenge eviction and unlawful," a second said.
"That's no good reason, truly. Go to Citizens Advice," someone else suggested.
Meanwhile, other renters said they found themselves in similar situations with their own dodgy landlords.
"Ours hiked our rent over 40% because we pushed for repairs to damp and mould," one said.
"We went through the same last year and had been in the house eight years," another revealed.
But others weren't so kind to the struggling mum, as some said she had no reason to complain, since the house isn't technically hers.
"There's two sides to every story," one person slammed.
"I would like to know why you renters think it's ok for your landlord to be out of pocket," a second wrote.
"It's not your house, to be fair," another chimed in.

Sats results rise on last year but stay below pre-pandemic levels
The proportion of Year 6 pupils in England who met the expected standard in this year's Sats exams has risen, but it is still below pre-pandemic levels, official statistics show. The Key Stage 2 results showed 62% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined this summer, up from 61% last year. In 2019, 65% of pupils met the standard, according to the provisional Department for Education (DfE) data. In individual subjects, scores were higher than last year. In total, 75% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, up from 74% in 2024. In writing, 72% of pupils met the expected standard, an increase of 0.5 percentage points on last year. In grammar, punctuation and spelling, 73% of pupils met the expected standard, up from 72%. Overall, 82% of pupils met the expected standard in science, up from 81%, and 74% met the expected standard in maths, up from 73%. The DfE said these pupils experienced disruption to their learning during the pandemic, particularly at the end of Year 1 and in Year 2. Attainment in all subjects, other than reading, has not returned to pre-pandemic levels, it added. The figures come after education unions have raised concerns about the statutory tests in primary schools as they fear they are too 'high-pressure'. Currently, pupils in England sit Sats in the summer of Year 6 and these results are often used in holding primary schools to account. Children also take a phonics check in Year 1 and a times table check in Year 4. The interim report of the independent curriculum and assessment review, published in March, concluded that formal assessments are an 'important part' of primary school education. But it said the review will examine how the assessment of writing in Year 6 'can be improved', and it will review concerns about the grammar, punctuation and spelling assessment. The final report of the review, chaired by education expert Professor Becky Francis, is due to be published in the autumn. Education Secretary Bridget Phillipson said: 'It's brilliant to see more children building the strong foundations in reading, writing and maths that will set them on a path to future success. 'It's a testament to the hard work of teachers across the country who have tirelessly supported pupils to prepare for the assessments earlier this year. 'Yet despite our brilliant teachers, we still have over a third of children leaving school below the expected standard in one or more of these critical subjects, with writing in particular continuing to lag below pre-pandemic levels.' On Tuesday, the DfE published a framework for primary schools in England that outlines a 'common approach' for teaching writing to pupils. A focus on handwriting, encouraging children to speak out loud and a renewed focus on Reception are part of the writing framework. Announcing the framework, Ms Phillipson said the Government wants young people 'to be as confident putting pen to paper as they are posting on TikTok'. Paul Whiteman, general secretary at school leaders' union NAHT, said: 'Pupils, teachers and school leaders have worked incredibly hard throughout the year and deserve enormous credit for their achievements. 'However, it is time to change this system of statutory assessment which is of little benefit to teachers or children.' He added: 'These tests are instead used as an accountability tool to judge and compare school performance – and not even a reliable one at that. 'They are given disproportionate significance and heap pressure onto pupils and staff, causing unnecessary stress and in some cases harming their wellbeing. 'We were disappointed that the interim curriculum and assessment review report did not support scaling back statutory tests for children. 'Reducing the negative impact, cost, time and resources required for phonics, the multiplication check and the grammar, punctuation and spelling tests would not reduce standards, and we urge the review team to think again ahead of the publication of its final report.' A spokeswoman for campaign group More Than A Score said: 'A small percentage change is not an indication of 'high and rising standards'. 'Standards should not be based on a narrow set of tests following a year of intensive cramming. 'These exams do not measure all that children can do and are damaging to mental health, causing sleepless nights and low self-esteem for 10 and 11-year-olds.' Tiffnie Harris, primary specialist at the Association of School and College Leaders (ASCL), said: 'It is good to see the continued improvement in the proportion of children reaching expected standards since the Covid-19 pandemic. 'There is much debate about the pressure these tests can place on children. 'Teachers are adept at identifying and providing additional help where pupils are showing signs of anxiety. 'However, these are demanding one-size-fits-all tests, and it would be better to move to a system of personalised assessments using the type of adaptive testing technology which is readily available.'

The most dangerous sex positions that cause thousands of injuries & they're more vanilla than you might think
SEX-CRUCIATING The most dangerous sex positions that cause thousands of injuries & they're more vanilla than you might think Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) YOU might think it's the kinky stuff that causes bedroom accidents but experts say it's actually the most common sex positions that are landing Brits in A&E. New research has revealed the sex positions most likely to cause painful injuries and it turns out 'vanilla' favourites like missionary are far riskier than you'd imagine. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 6 The top most dangerous sex positions have been revealed The study, by sex education experts at Joy Love Dolls, analysed data from more than 1,000 people across Europe and the US who had sustained a sex-related injury. And the results might just come as a surprise. Here are the top most dangerous sex positions. Doggy Style 6 Doggy style was the most dangerous position for women, Doggy style came out on top as the most dangerous position for women, causing over 20% of injuries. And it's no minor tumble either. Women reported a range of injuries from bruises and sprains to vaginal tearing, with one in four vaginal tears linked to this go-to position. For men, doggy was the second most dangerous, responsible for nearly 16% of male sex injuries, with cramped muscles, back pain, and even penile fractures among the most common issues. One in six penile fractures happened in this position. Missionary 6 Missionary was the most dangerous position for men It's missionary that takes the crown for men's worst nightmare in the bedroom. The front-facing position accounted for nearly one in five sex injuries in men, and is the leading cause of penile fractures. It also left many nursing bad backs, sprains and sore muscles. Georgie answers your sex questions Women didn't fare much better with missionary either, it ranked second for them, causing 16.3% of injuries, including 24% of vaginal soreness and 21% of tearing. Hips, legs and lower backs are all under strain in the deceptively simple pose. Scotty Unfamous, Sex Expert and Educator for Ann Summers says: although it's one of the most popular positions for sex, this fan favourite is the most common way that intimate injuries occur, as it can cause some wear and tear to your joints. "If you experience discomfort from how you are positioned during missionary sex, try incorporating cushions or a rolled-up towel/blanket to provide some support where you need it most, like under your hips, knees, back or shoulders." Switching positions 6 Switching positions can lead to an unexpected hazard Another unexpected hazard was switching positions mid-romp, which might feel spontaneous but accounts for almost 10% of female injuries. It also leads to 14% of bruises and 10% of vaginal tears. Standing 6 Standing sex can be extremely dangerous Standing sex, while sounding adventurous, is a major back-breaker, especially for men. Nearly half of all injuries from this position are due to back pain. For women, it's a little less risky but still responsible for over 4% of injuries. Scotty says: "A great tool to assist you standing is a sex swing, like this Door Jam Swing Restraint from Ann Summers. "To use it, you hang the stoppers over an open door then close it to keep them locked in place. "If you are the receiver, you can use it to brace your arms and legs in a multitude of ways that will keep you secure, with it's main use being seating yourself into the straps to support your body so that your partner can keep their focus on pleasuring you. Cowgirl and Reverse Cowgirl 6 Reverse Cowgirl proved much more dangerous for men Cowgirl, where the woman is on top, made the top five for both sexes. Men were more likely to suffer down below, while women saw injuries to their knees and hips. Reverse cowgirl, a trickier variation, only made up 1% of women's injuries but proved much more dangerous for men, causing nearly 6% of accidents and resulting in a fifth experiencing penile soreness. One in four men said it even led to fractures. Scotty said: "Make sure to stretch beforehand, when riding keep in mind how your anatomies fit together. "Position yourselves in a way that makes it the most comfortable by leaning forward or backwards to keep the penis inside as much as possible and communicate with your partner. "You can also use cushions to help support you both." Other risky moves include standing 69 and oral sex, with both positions unexpectedly landing people in pain. Sex educator Amy Nguyen from Joy Love Dolls warned that rough sex and poor communication are major contributors. She said: 'It's fascinating, people assume the riskiest positions are the wildest ones, but the data shows it's actually the most common positions leading to injuries. 'Rough sex is one of the biggest culprits, which highlights the need for better communication in the bedroom. You have to check in with your partner, or you could wind up hurt. 'Shockingly, only 3% of men and 5% of women said they told their partner about the injury afterwards, that lack of openness is worrying.' Over 60% of people admitted they'd been injured during sex, and more than half said they had sought help from a doctor. Amy added: 'Some of these injuries, like back pain or muscle cramps might seem minor. "But others, like tears and fractures, can be serious. Don't be embarrassed to get checked out.' And for those keeping score, vaginal soreness was the most common injury for women, while for men, it was good old-fashioned back pain. So next time you hop into bed, you might want to rethink that 'safe' go-to move. Your body will thank you later. Sexpert Scotty warns fingering can also be a danger. He said: "Our hands carry a lot of bacteria, so when it comes to stimulating our partner internally with them, it's important to make sure that your hands and nails are clean as possible to avoid cause infections. "Also keep your nails trimmed to avoid cutting your partner. "A great alternative is to incorporate a toy - try pleasuring your partner with a g-spot vibrator that mimics the shape of a curved finger to perfectly stimulate the g-spot, like the Moregasm Plus Boost Vibrator. Friction is generally not a good thing during sex as it opens you up to more risk of injury with the sensitive skin being tugged at that can cause tears and friction burn. Scotty recommends hand jobs as a popular way of pleasuring your partners with penises, and though saliva does come in handy, it has a habit of drying up too fast, so your best bet is to invest in some lube to keep things slippery and safer, like a Silky Waterbased Lube.
