Living with in laws

Sorry to post about my problems but I feel like I just need somewhere to write them down and get it out.

I started living with my in laws a couple of months before I gave birth to my beautiful baby girl and everything was fine.
Now that she has arrived I feel like she's got 3 parents.
I feel like I have to share my daughter with them and it really upsets me.
Whenever I talk to my daughter or play with her or try and have anytime with her, they are there over my shoulder trying to butt in all the time.
It seems like I have no time with my daughter on my own. She's even started to smile at them and not at me. I'm worried she's not going to know that I'm her mum.
I've spoken to my partner about it and he says he understands but I don't think he actually does. I've spoken to him about going to an estates agents and asking them about private renting because we can afford it but he still hasn't done anything about it.

I'm so unhappy and I cry every night and now I'm pushing my partner away.
I keep thinking shall I just break up with him and move back in with my mum.
It probably doesn't help that I moved over an hour away from all my family and friends so i don't really see them much.

I just feel so trapped and alone. I feel like I'm going crazy 🙁

Or trying to help, and support you ? Hmm
You know, like accepting you into their home.

She's even started to smile at them and not at me. I'm worried she's not going to know that I'm her mum. You don't need to worry about that. Of course she will know that you are her Mum Smile

I've spoken to him about going to an estates agents and asking them about private renting because we can afford it but he still hasn't done anything about it.
Er.... why don't you ? Look on line, bookmark some places, go to the Estate Agent, or phone them up if you are remote and not able to get there. Tell them what you are after, get a short list.
