How do I prepare for life as a single parent?

Ive never done one of these, so bear with me.Right now I am a 25 year old SAHM to a 4 year old and have a fiance who works and provides. We had kind of jumped into this relationship and got engaged really fast, he just stepped right from being single and partying to pretty much husband and instant dad (my daughter is from a previous relationship). We've been pushing off the wedding for the past 2 years though for various reasons. Well, he's been incredibly distant, snippy, and just down for awhile. I mean he hasn't even slept in our bed for a month now. Then I overheard a phone conversation between him and his mom, the day before thanksgiving, talking about leaving me soon. So, now I'm trying to figure out how to go from a stay at home mom for almost 3 years, to a single working mom and fast. Im kind of panicking here and cant figure out where to start or what to do. I mean, I'm at least thankful I overheard and got a bit of heads up, but I dont know what to do. I have absolutely no where else to go, the apartment lease is up april 6th, and I'll have no way to pay rent until then anyways once he leaves. I have no job, no skills or training for anything, and being a SAHM for several years is gonna make it even harder to get hired somewhere. At least anywhere that would actually support us both. Plus, daycare. Im scared to put her in daycare. Too much bad in the world these days and too much of it is targeted at children. And I dont live in a good city at all. So it scares me to put her in, thats why we had decided Id be a SAHM in the first place. Plus, it's expensive!!! I can't find a single place withing 45 miles that is under $300 a week. I absolutely wouldn't be able to afford that on top of other bills!!! I can get dhs help, I know, but I can't get THAT until I already have a job and have her approved for daycare. Here's my real issue though: I can't get a job until she is in daycare, and I can't get her into daycare until I have a job. How in the world do I do this?!!? Oh, and waiting lists. Have to wait on a waiting list to get her into daycare, and then a waiting list for DHS help!!! And I cant find us a new place to live, that we can afford without HIS help, until I get a job!!! My emotions are all over the place, I'm worried about the future, and I have no clue where to start or what to do to keep us from ending up totally screwed. Where should I start? Everything is in my name, I own the car and its completely paid off (though it wont last much longer because he has torn it all to crap in the past couple of years 😑😑), and pretty much everything in the house was either mine already, from my family, or I bought it with my tax return when we first got together. He just owns his clothes, 2 tvs, and xbox. So I mean, I technically have everything we need, I just need to figure out how to get her into daycare, get a job (and figure out how to do one without the other at first!), and find us a place that I can afford on my own. I just really need some guidance or ideas on how to start my life as a single mom all of a sudden. Thank you all in advance ❤ via /r/Parenting https://ift.tt/2DHtVY1
