Hello all, I just wanted to offload! I am living in a city where I have no family and I am in the process of splitting from my partner. We have a baby who is only fourteen months old, I'm terrified! Have had to take week off work and it's just been me and the baby since Monday, with occasional meetings with partner.
I asked him to leave because he was putting me through the mill so much with his constant arguing and selfishness. I read Why Does He Do That by Lundy Bancroft and I noticed he had traits of abusiveness and noticed a definite pattern of causing rows and possible coercion. I suddenly got really freaked out and angry for everything that has happened over the many years we've been together, which I always blamed myself for, the anger had built up and swung in the other direction! I got really angry with him and told him what I thought he's been doing, which he denied, then after giving in for a nice atmosphere later asked him not come home from work and to find somewhere to stay for a few nights to give me space.
I feel like I'm going mad as i have literally nobody to even come and sit with me and he's coming round tonight for 'the talk' and I am absolutely shattered after non stop childcare. Worse thing is he only works weekends so and I have a steady job so he normally does all the childcare and we have nothing in place! Could anybody point me in the way of any support I might be able to access? Thanks.
