Hi mums,
I'm in a massive pickle here. Am originally from UK, had a baby in Australia. Been with partner for 10 years, previously had an amazing relationship (I think?) We travelled a lot and had a lot of fun. Got pregnant unexpectedly last year, and we were really excited for her to be here.
Since having her, relationship has gone totally down hill and I don't think I even love him any more... Some things I see so obviously now I'm wondering what on earth I found attractive about him in the first place? He's an amazing dad, but he has several anger issues and a terrible temper, has never hit me but his anger is so bad, even at work he screams at all his workers too.
I'm at the point now of not being in love with him anymore and dreaming of freedom from him... Thing is I want to move home to uk(with my daughter obviously, ), but since we are currently residing in Australia, I would need his permission to leave, which is unlikely he will give me.
I have no idea what to do, I have no one to turn to, I don't want to tell my parents as if there's nothing they can do they will just worry.
Do I just need to give in to the fact I will basically be held hostage here forever? Or Is it the worst thing in the world to leave without my daughter? I don't want to be here anymore, I'm so far away from friends and family and my partner is not enough anymore. He says I'm being selfish by wanting to leave, but am I really?
Any advice from anyone in a similar situation would be amazing!
