My first post so hoping I’m doing it right , so I have a nearly 2 year old son who is the love of my life . However since the pandemic it’s pushed me and my partner apart, me working from home, having no support network due to pandemic , and just generally fed up of the sound of my voice no to my son no to my dogs , explaining things to my partner to the last inch of my life, and he never does them. I am a terrible insomniac which doesn’t help and I can not for the life of me sleep in the same bed as him anymore he’s noisy ! I have enough noise all day And I feel like I’m slowly going insane . He’s so negative , moody and moans about money CONSTANTLY If he had it his way he would have the same amount of money that we get paid , left at the end of the month which is just not realistic ! He would happily not buy our son anything for birthdays or Christmas as “he knows no different “ at his age as he says. I’m
Just down , and depressed I do and have for years suffered with both and probably been somewhat reliant on him, in terms of anxiety wise.
But now we have our son I’m done , he’s so negative I feel I’m beginning to hate him daily but I don’t know a way out we have a mortgage , a son , 2 dogs and not a lot of spare money , I feel trapped and don’t know what to do ? I don’t even know where to start. ...... is there anyone there just to lend a ear , just on here , and let me know if this can be the norm ..... I feel when my son is 3 I can go back to work full time and may be in a better financial position to sort myself out , but the constant arguing over money is literally taking any light I had on life away , I know this sounds so small to others problems , it’s just I want to be on my own even if I have to live in a one bedroom flat with my son for a bit , I just don’t know where to start? ... thanks for listening x

Sorry you are going through this OP, the only thing that comes to mind is can you bottom the house and sell stuff on eBay? Do you meal plan, bulk buy, cook freeze. I get you love your dogs but if you can’t afford to keep them, do you know anyone who would take them off your hands u til you are working and can afford to have them back? Try to ignore your DP as much as you can for now as you can’t change him, just try to dial his effect on you down until DS can get to nursery and you can work again. Make plans and more plans for your future
