Hello I am having problems at home and I need advice. In this story I have been silly and I know I have put myself in this mess.
Me and my partner have been together 3 years most of that has been a happy time. They had 4 children when we met one of the children was severely disabled and had the be taken into care. Social services were involved Long story short We have been through a incredible amount in our short time together We had a baby together and I moved in. They don't communicate with me very well, the family talks behind my back, we have members of the family around us all the time even staying in the house every night so I can't ever talk about things with them. I'm finding it hard to raise my child and put ideas forward. The other children that aren't my children are swearing and left to their own devices without much guidance despite every effort from me to give them good advice and be a parent figure to them, even taking them out and spending time with them. My coparent also has a court order we have had to go back to court with a previous partner they had the willingly break it and it seems don't want it to work. my partner does not work and when I moved in we had to declare we are a couple now I'm in a situation where I work long hours while they don't. they are always complaining about how life is unfair for them how I have much more than what they do and I am made to feel bad. Etc etc... now they want all of my money exact words "what do you need money for" in a full blown row they have said I'm a alcoholic now I like a drink same as anyone but I'm not out of control. they want a joint account to see where everything is going. I've been threatened that if I go the baby they have had with me will stay with them. My life went from being bright and slowly everything is now being taken away from me and they expect me to think that is normal and I should be grateful... I feel so poorly about the situation I'm in I feel suicidal and I shouldn't feel this way?? I don't know what to do let this carry on and hope for the best.... Or ultimately end it (relationship wise)... I am in a relationship for the sake of my child and I can't see no way out. I've been pressured not to see my friends. I've been pressured to feel badly about my family.it feels like they are gradually taking over my life.
Any advice will be great fully taken whatever it is
Many thanks 🙏 ❤️

It doesn't sound like a good situation for your child to be growing up in. You have every right to take your child with you (assuming you are on the birth certificate?) go to family and your partner will need to apply through the courts for contact.

This "relationship " is not sustainable so you have to leave. Apply to the courts for your child but be prepared that you will only get 50/50. However a safe, calm and loving environment is better 50% of the time compared to 0.

For the benefit of the situation I am the other gender I've changed a few details and if you notice I have put they just incase this is ever seen.

It's not clear at all who is male or female but regardless you need to get out of there.

You put your child first and move out.

And, regardless of how much you like a drink, don’t drink at all for a year or two while you’re sorting all this out - don’t give them any opportunity to find anything to pick you apart over.

I agree with @nonevernotever to speak with Women’s Aid and the council and anyone else you need to speak with, but not your partner.

You get out. You don't agree to a joint account, you take your baby and you leave. Speak to your family and your own friends. Speak to women's aid, but don't let your partner know what's happening until you are away.
