So much is going on i don't know where to begin...

I'm 18 and have a nearly 4 month old and have an up/down relationship with my 21 fiance. My fiance started changing in the start of my pregnancy and it's progressively getting worse. He constantly made me feel rubbish and would watch porn in front of me, leave his porno mags out and left me to pay for everything alone. I was working as a waitress getting around £400 a month and he's an electrician on nearly £2,000... but me being stupid stuck around. When my precious boy was born Daddy was great.. whilst i was in hospital. But refused to do night feeds as he had to work. After a few weeks i decided i wanted to leave but he said to me if i wanted to leave him i had to leave my baby behind. Scared i stayed. Now it's worse than ever. He stays up between 2-7am playing xbox and watching porn waking me up when he comes to bed (i am a very light sleeper) my lo has numerous minor health issues so i'm still up with him. I can't leave my boy with him for more than an hour as Daddy will play with him for 10 minutes then stick him in a bouncer and play games on his phone. He does nothing for my baby apart from occasionally doing his bottles. He plays with lo for around 5-10 mins daily then leaves it to me. And if i don't have sex with him he gets really moody and whenever we go to bed it's so creepy he's all over me trying to have sex with him. He's occasionally started whilst i've tried to sleep. I haven't slept properly in weeks. My lo was waking up every hour and Daddy was getting grumpy so i 'slept' downstairs. He never once took over and has never said thank you. I'm just at a lost. I want to leave but i'm scared. I love him but he treats me and my son so badly and my son doesn't deserve it. I'm petrified of him taking him away on weekends as i know my baby will be neglected, but i know he will fight for this. I'm so scared/ confused/ lost and upset. I've pretty much cried all day. I really need some advice!

It's good to hear your LO is happy and laughing - that's great news. Grin

Big hugs to you xxxx

Your life is about to get so much better, sweetheart.
I wish my mum had been as fab as you and got out while I was so young. Your LO is lucky to have you Grin

Not at all surprised he didn't contact you to see how your DS is as I'm afraid that he is very unlikely to have much concern at all for your DS at all, he only said he would keep him before as a way to control you. Sad

But that's actually a Good Thing in the long run, as he wasn't any help with him before, and at least you won't have to worry about how the child is treated on access visits if he doesn't do them Smile

So glad things are getting gradually sorted. Big shock to the system but it will settle.

Take care.

Had my attention brought to something last night. He was photographed in a nightclub! still no contact but it appears clubbing is more important! I've sent off for the forms to have his name changed, getting my stuff during the week and i hope he stays away from me. The temptation to post this on my Facebook is sky high. He's very good at convincing people he's Mr Lovely, would love people to see what he's done to us! Just a question what do i do about my Landlord? Do i tell her or not? Thanks again for all your lovely comments xx

What you need to tell your Landlady depends very much on what is on the lease - looking back over the thread you were asked but don't think replied as other stuff came up.

Is the lease in your name, his name or shared?

charlieexox · 07/01/2013 08:50

It's a shared lease

Then most definitely yes you need to talk to her now, otherwise he can default on payments & you will be equally liable - do you really want to be paying for his rent when you aren't even there?
