Bit of background, split from my ex when I was 5 months pregnant had to move into my sisters was there until 3 weeks ago and been staying on friends sofas since. I've been put into temporary accommodation with my 9 week old ds today. Most of my belongings are still at my sisters because I haven't had anywhere to put it. My ex came round today after work to see ds and took me to the shop to get a kettle and nappies (essentials). My other sister saw us in the car and reported straight back to the sister who I was staying with. I've just got a message telling me to get everything from her house including my bed from her spare room tomorrow morning. Fair enough she wants my stuff out of her house but I don't drive, my friends all work so can't get help from them, ex is not even allowed on the drive so I've got to pack up everything, dismantle a double bed and carry everything down 2 flights of stairs all with a small baby. The other problem is I have to try to hire a man and van and it all has to be done in the morning. All because me and ex are "playing happy families" no we're not we are being civil and he's helping me get the essentials because we both know that screaming and fighting isn't good for ds and he needs certain things! I just can't f*cking win, because I refuse to be a bitch to my ex I've "chose" him over them and I don't deserve their help. Am I in the wrong but just can't see it or are they being ridiculously unreasonable? Sorry it's long and ranty

Have you tried discussing it with her in person and not via text?

Why did you moved out of her house 3 weeks ago and start sofa surfing? That seems a little harsh if your sister asked you to leave.

In all honesty you should be down at the council stating you have no where to live and they will put you in a B&B until suitable accommodation can be found.

Your sister only has your best interests at heart. I imagine in the time you stayed at her house you discussed how awful your ex was. This is the reason she is angry with you. She doesn't want you or your dc to be hurt by your ex anymore.

On this occasion it looks like you can't have it always. You might have to make a choice. I know which one I would chose (in the short term at least)

Why did you split with your ex?
