I’m incredibly upset and worried about what I should do.
I am away at my mil and I want to leave as soon as possible.
My partner is emotionally abusive which gets worse when he drinks. Tonight my daughter who has been incredibly difficult recently…to the point of having a tantrum about what gifts she got for Christmas- started to complain about something she wanted to which I couldn’t get her.
She started to cry and as she did my partner walked in from the pub and started calling me “thick and stupid” and I should have just given her what she wanted.
Although this might seem not bad , his mother which saw the whole thing happen just proceeded to watch and not even intervene although she clearly disagreed with her own granddaughter tantrum. She offered my partner food…and didn’t bother to offer me any. While my partner continued to shout about how stupid I am I should just shut up. No one said a word. So I took myself to bed.
For years I’ve gotten this treatment and now it’s got to the point where I’m incredibly miserable and depressed. I feel alone and depressed and although I don’t want to leave my children, I can’t take the attitudes and behaviour of all my family members. I am the one the that works, organises and does the works. Whereas my partner does not work or organise anything. I feel as if I’m being treated terribly and I’ve no one to reach out to. We are away at the moment and I feel as if I should book an early coach trip and leave them here. I don’t want to make a big drama about it but I feel as if I’ll go mad if I just sit in the bedroom by myself with no food or no one even caring unless the want something from me. Am I being unreasonable?
