Partner sent me an eviction email

My partner sent me an eviction email today at 07:30 I am 25 weeks pregnant living at his home. I straight away contact my local council on a Sunday morning for immediate help within an hour he sent round one of his family members to kick me out there and then. (He was out all night on a bender with his friends hasn't even come home) I've managed to booked myself a hotel for the night with the money I have left but completely broken and upset that my perfect happy family has been broken apart and now having to manage pregnancy on my own and no where to live. I don't have any family or friends around me and just feel completely abandoned. He does this all the time goes missing for days because he's gone on the sesh. I know I should want to walk away but the thought of doing pregnancy on my own kills.

That's one of the shittiest comments I've ever read on here and I've been here for years. What is wrong with you?

Seriously.

If he actually didn't want a child, he'd have turned the abuse up well before the time limit, to coerce her into having an abortion.

Yup, can confirm. My horrible first husband tried every day until the abortion limit to get me to abort. I did not, and I left him 2 years later, the day he started being vile to my DD.

She doesn't actually understand or accept that she made mistakes and contributed to the situation she's in.

Where is your evidence for that statement?

What is done, is done.
Yes, you've made unwise choices.
But you were not the bastard who promised the earth to their partner, then kicked them out when they were absolutely vulnerable.

OP, work on securing a home for you and your child. Ask for help from your midwife, council and GP. And make sure you never again believe a man without financial and legal backup.

This is rock bottom. Bu you've dodged a bullet - he was never going to give up his party life, and at best you would be raising a child with a resentful, disengaged alcoholic. It will get better.

Please go and do some reading on abuse before posting here again, please.

Neither of you sound fit to be parents. All the drinking and partying (aka drug taking), with a guy you barely knew, get pregnant and think it’s a good idea to have a baby? If you would have aborted if he said so then why didn’t you abort for your own good? No one would choose that man as a partner for a child. Your good relationship was 4 months old and based on drinking and partying.

Poor kid. I hope you get your life in order and make better decisions going forward. Starting with leaving this guy and never going back.

Inappropriate.

This smells like bull.

" I lost my family way before he was in my life through a very toxic upbringing so cutting them off was the best for me "

" Ive always lived in my area but had a massive family argument and family issues due to being with this guy who is 11 years older and none of family will talk to me "

Which is it? Because it seems like you cant get your story straight

Could the guy who is 11 years older be a different guy, and that rift was years ago? Didnt sound like it but would make more sense. An 11 year age gap at 28 isn't that huge. Could understand if she was in her teens.

OP I feel for you, I know how easy it is to fall for an abusive man who promises you the world.

But while that was not your fault, you absolutely do need to learn from this. Now you know what people are capable of, you need to work on your self esteem and ensure you and your baby are never in this situation again. You now can see how this horrible man duped, so there are no excuses for you go down this route again.

Ask for help from SS. Only baby and you matter now. I really hope he hasn't changed his mind this morning and you've gone back, because this scenario will never change. Except it will also be your innocent child getting thrown out while he's on drugs.

I still cannot believe that not only does he think it's completely fine to throw a pregnant woman out, one who is carrying his own baby, but that his family are just as bad and quite happy to do the same. What if you didn't have the means to stay in a hotel? Doesn't sound like any one of them cared.

Seek help so you're never in this position again. And I say this as someone who also made similar choices due to low self esteem in my late teens. But I learned from them. What he's done is not your fault, but if you carry on while you've got a baby to protect then it is. Want better for this baby than the toxic family you had.

You can do it! And there are services to help and support on here. I know not all comments have been supportive, but those people are just worrying about the baby.

OP @Rhiannon1997- did you manage to see anyone from the council yesterday? Or get any advice/help elsewhere? I do hope so.

Rhiannon1997 · 10/06/2026 17:44

Update for you all I took on all your positive advice (not the negative) went to the council Monday morning who is in the process of finding me temporary accommodation whilst on a high banding for bidding for a home. Been to the midwife's twice and told them everything who was very nice and supportive. I also got the social worker involved and openly told them everything that had been happening and told them about his habits etc.
He asked to see me yesterday and today and I denied contact!
only issue I'm having now is retrieving the rest of my belongings as I don't really want to see him and be sucked back into the lies about changing etc. The social worker offered to come with me but since I suggested that to him he has now ignored me but need to get the stuff I have bought for the baby and my own belongings.

Go with the solcial worker. You can’t raise a child in this chaotic environment, he doesn’t want to be a father, he wants to party and he should have been clear on that. Maybe he thought he did want a kid and realised what it entails. In terms of curbing his lifestyle. Doesn’t excuse chucking you out like the garbage,

Take the social worker up on their offer. If he denies you access then social worker can organise police to come with you

ShutupLwren · 10/06/2026 18:49

Well done @Rhiannon1997 defo get the SW to go with you. You’ll get there! Have you got any support network at all?

changeme4this · 10/06/2026 19:40

Another vote for taking the social worker. You need support as well as someone with a bit of authority. SW can call the police if required.

The Police were happy to escort my DD, when she was going through something similar.

Dancingintherain09 · 10/06/2026 20:21

As PP have said take social worker when you know he will be home, the SW can call the police if he doesn't allow you access to your belongings.

You can also contact police to let them know about the situation in advance Ie time date you will be going so a marker for the address will be added to the system.

Have the council put you in a temporary accommodation as obviously you can't keep paying for a hotel.

Millowmallowsky · 15/06/2026 16:46

@Rhiannon1997 bless you, I was in the same situation as you when I was 28. You can call the police 111, to help you retrieve your things. Ignore the negative, no one ever thinks this will happen to them till it does. It's not easy, I wont lie..it will be hard but time.is a big healer. You will get through this, just take a day at a time.

Rhiannon1997 · 19/06/2026 15:11

Update again! I've managed to retrieve all my belongs with the threat of me saying I was going to bring the social with me he became nice (still had to the social worker wait outside whilst I gathered my things) today I officially made the big move after a week in a hotel provided by the council. I'm luckily to be offered somewhere so quickly be it is unfortunately and hour and half away from the original town!
council have been very helpful with getting me furniture and money vouchers to get me back on my feet. Hopefully it's onwards and upwards from now on

you have been incredibly lucky, even if you don’t feel like it. Your local authorities have acted quickly, you will be settled soon and mostly you’ve got this fucker out of your life in a romantic sense and you can just enjoy your baby.
Well done, you’ve smashed this first hurdle!

Alltheusefulitems · 19/06/2026 15:18

@Rhiannon1997 well done and good luck for the future, I hope it continues to be bright for you and your baby

Ethelspagetti · 19/06/2026 15:50

Great update. I’m really pleased for you. The social worker sounds great and I’m happy you managed to get a place to live! You don’t need him, don’t ever go back there again. I’m glad social services know as they won’t want the baby to be around the dad. I personally wouldn’t put dad’s surname on the birth certificate. Wishing you all the very best and hope the birth goes smoothly for you.💐
