Hiya. I have 3 kids, 2 grown up boys to a previous relationship and a 9 year old to my current live in partnership who is have been with for 11years. My eldest 2 have moved on into their own residents until recently one has had to return back to the house I co own with current partner. Needless to say he's not happy with the situation and is making it very apparent by ignoring my son and beinget off with me. The atmosphere at home is unbearable and I'm stuck in the middle. We have said some awful things to each other (partner) and now I'm feeling like he can't love me if he knows how bad I'm currently feeling about the whole situation. Yes my sons an adult, but he is still my son and he doesn't want to be at home either. His job is very unstable on zero contract hours etc.... I feel I must walk out because I shouldn't allow my partner to speak about my sons the way he does without any real reasons but I have a 9 year old who is wondering what the he'll is going on. I can't really afford to walk away and I can't stay. I work fulltime but not enough to cover rent, mortgage childcare etc and he has made it very clear that our daughter will stay with him even though he works away often. He thinks he has the right to pick and choose the days he has custody and this would change on a weekly if not day by day basis. The whole thing is making me feel ill. Should I stay for my daughter or leave to maintain a relationship with my sons.
