Posted a bit on here before about situation with DH. Had a huge row where he accused me of not doing enough to sort out my epilepsy and make my MS better so I have walked out to parents with DS.
He basically said he can cope with the MS but unless my seizures stop then that is it for us. I can't live with this knowing that my seizures may never get better so I have gone.
Feel like the world has ended :(

You've done the right thing in leaving. This man sounds absolutely intolerable.

He was lovely until you had a baby and then his mask was taken off because he thinks you are now reliant on him. He refuses to help when you need it to show you how hard it would be without him. His threats about getting the baby because you have a disability is another way of keeping you under his control. Having a disability does not make you an unfit parent so calm down. Basically you're being manipulated into being a victim. He sounds horrendous OP and I feel for you. Things will only get worse if you stay. I'm glad your parents are a support and I would take them up on any offers of help as having that support will also be helpful if it comes to custody. Thanks

Good for you for leaving the bastard. Please use some of the money your parents put aside for you to talk to a family law solicitor about your rights.

Apparently according to him he has done his bit and I should be grateful as no one else would take me.

This is a disgusting thing to say to anybody, let alone someone you are married to who has had your child. Shock

It's not you, it's him. And his parents sound like nasty pieces of work, too. (Probably where he gets it from.)

Get out. We are all on your side/ Thanks

He is horrible! I understand you are really heartbroken, but he doesn't deserve to have a wife and child. Glad you have supportive (and smart) parents.

I have a condition that for 20 years it was a mystery as to why I would just collapse without warning, no fitting just a faint.
They discovered the cause just after dd2 was born, 8wks ago. It is now under control.
My dh is always fully supportive. Your ex is a terrible person. He has no compassion and is acting like a toddler. I've seen children handle things better.
You are well-rid. Get some advice, you will need some support but you will be in a better place not having to cope with his sulking too.

You need to contact Women's Aid as a matter of urgency.

You are a victim of abuse and you will need their help in dealing with your abuser, separating and staying safe, and recovering from the trauma.

Their number is 0808 2000 247
Please call.

If they are busy, leave a number where you can be contacted. They will call you back.

Oh love, sorry it seems to have ended but I really think it's the best thing. He hasn't behaved very well towards you and I think you'll come out in a better place without him dragging you down.

Your relationship was awful. If you're going to get no support and be self sufficient you may as well be single.

He doesn't sound like a good parent and he doesn't have an incapacitating disability. His threats about DS are very unpleasant but not well founded.

I am going through a situation with my employers regarding my epilepsy, i have also posted a lot on here about it.

Somebody who you are sharing your life with, should accept this about you and do all they can to help you, he clearly is not doing anything to improve your life,

And OP the second I get another job, I will be out of there in a shot!

Feel free to PM me if you ever want to chat about epilepsy, an odd sentence but you get what I mean!
