I am so angry right now.

I've had to unfortunately move in with my parents due to an Ex leaving me out of the blue with my DS and pregnant.

I have applied for a council house and I am waiting to hear back from them.

I have had enough of my Dad and I am at the end of my tether. I wouldn't have enough time to explain everything but the latest situation is that I had a glass in my room as I always need a drink at night, my D decides to go in my room and carry the glass down the stairs, it slips out of his hands and shatters. My DM cleans it up while my D proceeds to shout at me and blames me because I had a glass in my room. I said 'Don't you blame that on me' and I have endured the silent treatment ever since that happened where he ignores my presence every second of the day. Not only does it make the whole family feel awkward but they will not say anything to him through fear of starting an argument.

So, after not speaking to me I put DS to bed, after many weeks trying to get him to settle straight away when he was younger he now goes to bed with no trouble at all. Thinking of a way to annoy me my D sneaks into my room after DS has gone to bed and sings to him and starts playing with him. After hearing DS I go upstairs and tell him to 'get out' and I now have a toddler who refuses to go to sleep.

I am beyond annoyed, I've had enough. He is an immature arse and I wouldn't have anything to do with him if that was possible.

Sorry for the rant, My D has always had a problem with me, not my siblings just me and my family have always been under his thumb. I really dislike the man.

WIBU to just not say anything to him including not leaving DS with him and just waiting and praying until the day I get a house.

My father was a PITA too, so we had to work very hard on the relationships with four adults and two children in one small house.
I'm not impressed with the posters suggesting that the child is used as a tool against the GP though.
What would the OP have done if they'd said no when she wanted to return home?

If have read your posts, which is why if wasnt surprised at the lack of sympathy. Its a difficult situation, the father is making it worse. Instead off making life difficult he could offer practical help to get her housing options sorted. The op sounds young and doesnt have as händler on benifits, if this were my dd if would be trying to help her sort it out. I also had a child whilst living at home it was hard, eventuell with reasonable parents.

Sadly i agree that council housing will be more ort less impossible rent privately if you can, all the while you are at your parents you will be considered adequately housed. Get some solide advice re benifits. make an appointment with cab.

Try to ignore your father, dont rise to arguments you will get through this

Bloody phone

It's amazing how many phones can't spell. Must be a technical glitch.
Seriously though, the parents don't have to help out, they chose to.
Op needs to take your advice and grab any avenue for escape. She's going to have two children to cope with soon, and the father (s) should be the focus of her anger. The father should support his child, through the CSA or the courts if he's unwilling to act responsibly.

OP I had a similar experience , having to move in with parents after a relationship break up with a small baby. It was a nightmare.

My DM interfered constantly with my parenting and I was undermined and overruled or ignored. I was 30 but I felt 13 again and as was never listened to I found myself behaving like a teenager again. Which only made it worse. On top of that I had the heart break and loneliness and sadness to manage.

You've all been through a tremendous upheaval. Even the strongest families would fall out.

Tell your Dad you accept his house rule if no glasses up stairs and he needs to accept all your rules when it comes your child.

Deep breaths. Focus on getting out of there and creating a lovely peaceful family unit in your new home.
