Scared to ask for money

So DP doesn't have a proper job and at the moment I cover everything. When he does get money he won't give me any and blasts it all at the weekend. I've asked before and it ends up with major rows. I just can't bring myself to ask. I'm struggling with everything I can do it all. Me and my child need things and we have to go without.

ChevalierTialys Yes, I've heard of people doing that. Where threads are very specific and the subject is fairly unusual which might make it possible to identify you. There is absolutely no way you could identify the OP from her threads and people could easily just say "my child" without specifying the sex/gender. It frankly makes it look dodgy and sadly I've been here long enough to know that there have been many fake posters who only post about their abusive relationship over many months. They seem to get off on it.

He should be coming into some money next year and says things will change completely

Look at what someone does rather than what they say. He is showing you the sort of person he is-don’t ignore it.

He’s not treating you well now, is he? You are not going to see any of that money.

Are you renting or do you own the house? In whose name is it?

OP, you've been together with a drug using alcoholic cocklodging abuser for many, many years. Of course your MH is not the best.

You pay for everything, on another thread you say the rental is in your name - tell him to leave. If he doesn't, terminate the contract and move out yourself. You're struggling because you're paying for a grown man instead of spending the money on your child.

Is the money some compensation he believes he's entitled to OP?

Too much drama OP.
Either you face up to your responsibilities or you continue playing the leading role in your own little soap opera.
And messing up your child's future in the process.
Stop whinging and do something amazing like putting your child first.

They're always "coming into" something.
He could have a guaranteed cheque for 5million quid.

You still wouldn't see any of it. He doesnt share what hes got now.

My partner and I met on the bones of our arses. Weve always shared everything. I remember I had £10 to my name and I bought food and shared it with him equally because he had nothing.

Hes given me his last 20 quid just to make sure I'd got money in my pocket.

It's the attitude, not the figures on the paper.
