I've recently started antidepressants and having a bad reaction to them, I haven't slept or eaten properly since Monday because I can't, I've had palpitations and felt generally rubbish. I went to bed at half 9 last night and woke up at 2.30am that is the most sleep I've had in days. I have an 8 hour shift at work today. My partner went out last night - I said that was fine but asked him if he could just get up with the children today because he knows how awful I'm feeling (and it's mother's day!). He got in - or crashed in I should say - at 10 to 5 this morning. I have been up with the children, I feel dead on my feet and dreading work but I can't call in sick it's the busiest day of the year and it's my own stupid fault for not being able to just stay mentally stable for 5 minutes. My partner is frankly shit, I've wanted to leave for ages, I thought he had agreed to go but he has a knack of manipulating the situation every, single time and I end up apologising and being in the wrong and he doesn't go anywhere. At this point I want to just pack up our bags and get me and the children out but I have nowhere to go and I don't think the council will help us if I leave. AIBU to think they might help? I can't live like this anymore, it's a very, very small incident in the grand scheme of things but today I am done.

Sending you love and hugs. Your partner sounds really useless and parenting is hard enough without a crap other half. I have found in my friendship circle those with an unsupportive/equal partner suffer mentally whilst together and they only seem to heal and get of depression etc once they leave. I think you know what you have to do. Much love to you.
