my 2 year olds dad is horrible. (Current partner)
our son has been poorly this week so more winged than usual. Now I’ve got it.
anyway… my partner sleeps on a fuckin matress every night in the living room apparently because he’s a bad sleeper and gets annoyed if toddler wakes up

tonight it got in top me. I had a cry & said I want to cuddle in bed. He said “you wanted the fucking baby stop moaning all the time you remind me of my mother”

im so sad sick of being alive. I’ve got no family. No friends. Absolutely nothing.

Find some standards and try keeping them

Is that meant to be helpful?

What a horrible post to someone who is clearly struggling. Did that really make you feel good when you posted that?
I think you need to take a look at your own standards of basic human kindness which at present are buried beneath the floor boards.

@alwayscryinhIf you have any could family/friends help out until you are feeling
better? Once you are feeling better contact Womans Aid again and get advice on ridding yourself and your son of this awful man. They can and will help you.
better

Maybe if it is said often enough aoman may actually take notice the softly softly approach doea not help woman actually realise they need to take control of theor own life

They need to make better choices and tiptoeing around it does nothing and helps no one

If people want to that is mean fine go ahead

Well hindsight is a wonderful thing, obviously. However the OP is in this situation atm and reached out for some support. So I don't think telling them they should have made better choices is helpful. At all.

If it stops one poater continuing the cycle then it works even if it gives them something to thunk about?

How many women keep on making the same mistake?

I'm sorry but you're just being unnecessarily judgemental. Has your own life been so completely free of any issues that you feel you have the right to judge in this way?

Already done it. Women’s aid can’t do much x

Then contact refuge. This man is abusing you.

Every council has to house someone who is fleeing domestic abuse. Please, please do something now. Keep posting, we can help.

Believe me this will get worse, you're not alone ❤️

I'm on my own with dd

Have been since she was almost 1, during the pandemic

You will be okay alone. I have been exactly where you are darling, no family or friends, just letting some decrepit disgusting guy use my body to masturbate with without my consent.

The first step though, is being brave, leaving and accepting going on benefits and surviving.

The baby will go to school soon and you'll have your free time back

For now, just accept that its you and the baby. The baby should get 15 free hours soon? Thats your freedom coming back to you 🩷🩷
