Hate the father of my kids

Hi everyone.
So I just need to rant basically. My ex is just an awful "know it all" person and an all round idiot.
We are living together unfortunately until the tenancy finishes and have 2 kids together and I'm heavily pg with my third girl.
I asked about his plans about how he will cope financially next year since he is adamant that he wants to take care of the girls. He said "it's ok I will take the girls with me to work, cut my hours and claim uc (he is working full time but on a low income). I hate his attitude because this "plan" is not realistic obviously and he doesnt cook and cant drive.
He swears a lot too in front of the kids when he's annoyed with me. If I tried to talk to him like that, he would threaten me to not talk to him in that tone of voice and that I'm a bad role model.
I'm a graduate and living with him since our first child was born. But since then, I have accomplished nothing except having children. I have been applying for jobs but I havent gotten anywhere yet due to needing to stay at my current workplace to get my maternity pay or because I'm on maternity leave taking care of the children.
I know I have sacrificed a lot for him. I gave up a good life so that I could give a go at living with him and my kids. Right now I just feel underappreciated, trapped and alone.
Any advice?

Why are the kids going with him?

He thinks he will manage better with them than me, as I have a history of severe baby blues

Is that what you want? Because now is the time to work that out, it will be much harder to reverse later on

What's his job?

What do your midwife and GP think should happen? Is there a plan in place to manage your postnatal mental health?
