To be beyond angry

Hi, long, long time lurker but have never felt the need to post until now.

An unexpected expense has come up today, which needs sorting ASAP. And as my wages just about cover childcare and bills etc I asked 'd'h to pay this.

His first response was 'no'. And then he asked how everyone else seems to manage on a part time wage and wtc, so why can't I?! And then here is the best bit, he told me to pay my own bills!! This is a household expense, so certainly not something only I would benefit from.

I am so pissed off, I don't know if I'm over reacting or I have every right to be as angry as I am.

I think in my brother's case, he thinks that he has worked and earned that money so it is his to spend on himself. I think deep down he sees the woman as chosing to have children so she should fund them. That really is his mindset

He is a horrid person on so many levels and we are now no contact.

Op,I'm sure it's been said but this is financial abuse. You're married with dc so he's not your father and you need to beg for money he's your equal and finances are joint in the eyes of the law.
