Sorry, I’ve posted on here a lot lately but I don’t have any friends, can’t really talk to my mum and mums groups on Facebook are so outing and I find them unhelpful. So hopefully I can get some advice on here.
Due to suffering with postpartum mental health issues I want to move in with my MIL. My partner and baby too of course. I’ve never left a house early without paying until the end of the contract. I feel like I need the support and people around me, and because I’ve been so unwell in this house I’m starting to get panicky and upset about being in it. I really hate it here and I don’t get on with my neighbours at all so there’s nobody to talk to bar my partner, who is struggling with his own mental health which I blame myself for because it’s a lot to cope with right now.
My tenancy ends in November and I can give two months notice, so September. But I honestly feel like I can’t do another two months here, it feels like a lifetime.
Obviously in best case scenario they would accept I want to leave and I wouldn’t have to pay the last four months, as I would be paying MIL rent and bills. Worst case scenario I can’t leave and continue here. Stressful scenario is I leave and continue to pay bills and rent like in my contract.
I don’t expect her to say yes, of course. But I’m worried about asking her in case she becomes difficult knowing we don’t want to be here, or whether the relationship becomes hostile in case we need something.
Should I ask her? Or just leave it and wait until September? What would you do?
