Please do not discuss this with me if you know me in real life; I just need to rant.
My child’s dad and I have separated but live together.
We used to get on but he seems to be depressed.
He does nothing around the house. He doesn’t even speak to us. He is a ghost who wanders around with headphones on.
He doesn’t eat. He doesn’t wash.
This I could handle. But he is so so mean.
He calls me fat. He says that he avoids me to stop himself from arguing with me. He calls me every name under the sun.
He doesn’t interact or speak to our child.
I literally upended our whole lives because I thought he was going to kill himself as he was so depressed living on his own. Only for him to be exactly the same.
I feel like I’m such a fool.
I’ve given up our home, my child’s sanctuary, to live somewhere that I am abused and he is ignored.
I can’t get out as I have terrible, terrible credit and no references and no one will rent to me.
He also provides childcare so I can work full time.
I’m just such an idiot.
How do educated women with years of life experience get themselves into these fixes? I can’t tell my family as they warned me not to.
