Don't know if this is even the right place to post.
I posted before about problems with ILs but the real problem is my DH.
We've been together for 8 years after I had been a single mum to DD 14, whose dad was violent, abusive and beat me up during my pregnancy. I left him when she was a baby and when I met DH at first it seemed that I had met my knight in shining armour.
After we got married it slowly became clear that he was not the right man for me.
He's nothing like as bad as DD's father.He's not violent or abusive, he's just ... nasty to me, and makes me feel horrible every single day. He once told me that he is a nice guy, but there's something about me that makes men nasty, and when I said that I wished I could leave him and find someone else he said I would just turn them nasty too.
He never listens to me, is always too busy to speak to me, and is always pointing out my faults and how great a husband he is and what a lazy useless wife I am.
I am 9 weeks pg with unplanned baby. We are already in dire straits. We also have DS of 20 months and DSD of 12 years. DH is about to be unemployed and we are already crammed into tiny house with no money to move to bigger house. There is no room for the new baby. Please don't flame me and say I should have been more careful, it was a one off mistake. I really want this baby though and I know I will love him or her so much, and that somehow we will find a way.
DH and DD can't stand each other. They have just had yet another hideous shouting match. DH said he can't take any more and hates his awful life. No more than I hate mine. I was crying and he just said that our lives were a fucking nightmare already but with this pregnancy things have turned into a sick joke. That there's no way we can have another baby. I said, maybe I'll have another miscarriage (I had one a few years ago) and I could see by the look on his face part of him wished for that.
I wish I could leave him. I wish I never had to look at him again and feel the way he makes me feel - like an awful, difficult, woman who has ruined his life. I can't, though. We have no money to run one household, and I can't consign my DS and future unborn baby to a life split between two homes. DSD has had this all her childhood and she has hated it and had to see a psychologist at one point. I know it can work for some families. But then I think that DD is being subjected to this man who hates her. I don't know what to do. I can't stop crying.I don't know how my life turned out this way. I am 37 and too old to start again.
