My partner doesn't want me telling my family Ive moved?
I don't hardly see my famiy as we live far apart so he thinks i shouldn't tell them becuase they don't bother with us unless it suits them.
Should i tell them? He never wants them down and then i i have to make a lie that I'm busy. I feel so stuck :(

Please tell your family where you are living. Your partner sounds controlling and his mother is backing him up. Can you arrange to go and visit your family with your daughter? He shouldn't be keeping you away from your family!

We have a daughter together, we got given a section 21 so had to move quickly.. i do want to see my family, but he doesn't like them as when they do want to see me and my daughter.. all they want to do is do things that cost money. His mum says he doing to protect me from getting hurt. He invites his family as they live close and always been there for us. Can't help that my family live so far away

Warning bells are ringing for me. Your child should be part of her other family

This is as dodgy as fuck.

Tell your family where you are, and think seriously about leaving this guy.

I just want a day out and have fun with my sisters.. i feel like I've lost myself and just stuck in the same routine so I don't upset anyone

You are being controlled and isolated op, you can't live your life worrying whether you are going to upset anyone. Don't move far away from your family, you will need them when this all blows up in your face. Take care🥰🥰
