Hi so my partner has his children nights a week, these 3 days he works and he expects me to look after the kids as well as my own. Iv told him to change his days so he’s at home but he won’t doesn’t want to cause an argument with kids mother. Kids even say it’s pointless coming to see him when he’s not here but there mother makes them stay, I do everything for them cook, clean, iron uniform, pack ups literally everything plus work part time. He never watches my kids causes arguments said he’s been at work all day, I never ever get a break from my kids or he’s, even when I’m ill he never says I will tell kids to stay at home this weekend. He never asks if I have plans or if I mind watching them it’s just expected. It’s literally draining me out and everytime I mention anything he causes an argument, am I really been selfish? He jumps when kids mother says so but yet doesn’t think of me.

@chloe84
The council will not just change the tenancy. It does not work like that. If op and do split up as far as council is concerned they would have to go to court and fight for the house if they are both named on the tenancy agreement. Neither one will be prioritized by the council.
If op leaves of her own accord the council will not rehouse as they will say she intentionally made herself homeless.
However,
Op he is à complete and utter dick. He doesn't respect/care about you or any of the children. I'm sorry but as other posters have said he is using you and he is allowing his children to do the same. If you have somewhere else to go please do. If you won't leave for you then do it for your children. This is not a hàppy healthy place for them to grow up in.
Once you have left you Will be entitled to benefits that you wouldn't get with him and the benefit to your mental health, wellbeing and that of your children will be amazing. I know you're scared if the fall out but you know what you need to do and you will get support.
Take care. 🍷
