I have a 8 day old baby and a one year old and ten year old and have barely slept so this will be a rambling post but I need to post.

I’m trying to work out if my “partner” is emotionally abusive or maybe I just don’t like him and I’m being dramatic. I will type in bullet points the things he has done because I literally haven’t the mental ability to compose proper paragraphs atm

  • night before my section he sat on the pc playing his games while our 1 year old screamed inconsolably and refused to see to him so I had to sit there for 2 hours rocking and comforting him at 2am before my op
  • since home from hosp doesn’t wash up or clean or cook or anything for other boys (oldest boys is mine not his the toddler is his)
  • refuses to pick up my son from schooo
So I have to struggle there after surgery
  • refuses to go to the shop
To get me more maternity pads so I had to go there four days after surgery to get them and all he wanted to know is did I remember his Diet Coke
  • caught him
Feeding our newborn and old and cold bottle of milk rather than get up and do a new one
  • told me to “shoo” in a really horrible way after he took the baby from me

There is so much more. I want to make him
Leave but he said no he won’t. We rent. It’s his home
Too. And he will kick the door in and police won’t care because they don’t get involved in this. And I am
The nasty one because he has tried his best and all I do is moan and cry. And now the midwives are concerned because they have seen me upset and it’s all my fault they are concerned because I was depressed before I met him so ho can he be to blame

He wanted to take the baby at two days old to his work! I said no and he said I’m using the baby as a weapon. Now he wants to take him
Tomorrow to his work and I said no and he said I’m
Jealous of the girls at his work and that’s why

You are doing brilliantly - the MW knows and you have opened up to your family.

They will all help you and keep you safe don’t worry - keep the stress down and bond with your baby - that is your priority right now.

Others can get professional advice, check your tenancy agreement etc (usually you can give 1 months notice after the first 6 months - even if it is a 1 year tenancy).

It will all be over soon.

Bundle your kids up all 3 of them and go to your sister or your mum. There is nothing that can’t be sorted property wise money wise nothing.
Get your children out of that house.

I don’t want to message saying “can I end the tenancy eqrlt@ he will just say no. I want to be more demanding but seeing as I’m doormat of the century I doubt it

Don’t worry about mice when you’ve got a fucking monster in your bed. Move to your family.

Lunalovegood86 · 05/12/2019 14:08

OP, it doesn’t matter that he doesn’t care, or that he’s said this, or done that. The point is that he is now irrelevant. Listen to @Kitty2020 your only job is to bond with your beautiful little baby and not let him ruin these precious days. In time this will all seem like a bad dream and I know because I have been there too.

I would send something along the lines of;
'I am sorry to say that our relationship has broken down and the children are i are unsafe continuing to live with X. I cannot remain living in this situation and if I leave X will certainly stop paying the rent. I understand that there are 5 months remaining on the tenancy but I need to be clear that this tenancy cannot continue as it is for the next 5 months. I will be unable to pay the rent for the remaining period as well as rent elsewhere and the best option for you to avoid difficulty and unpaid rent is to agree to end the tenancy early. I appreciate your understanding on the matter'

The landlord would be a total idiot to refuse as he wouldn't get any money from a mother of two babies fleeing DV if he took you to court so it's absolutely worth his while to agree.

BaronessBomburst · 05/12/2019 14:13

Oh he is beautiful! Those red lips! Smile

GreenFingersWouldBeHandy · 05/12/2019 14:14

Oh he's a little peach! Congratulations!

And well done on taking steps to get out of this horrible and abusive relationship. You are doing all of this to give your little ones a better life. And you're very brave.

Keep going! They need you to do this for them.

CodenameVillanelle · 05/12/2019 14:14

He is beautiful!

Geppili · 05/12/2019 14:15

What he said about telling your child that you didn't want him is the worst thing you have posted about him. He is ready to devastate his child in order to get back at you. A really nasty immature piece of work. Please ask your parents for as much support as possible to get away from him. Congratulations on the birth of your beautiful baby! Thanks

Geppili · 05/12/2019 14:16

Oh he is gorgeous!!

Pizzaaddict · 05/12/2019 14:17

Thanks so much @CodenameVillanelle that is perfect and what I Will use. Believe it or not there was a time I would have been able to compose something myself. Right now I am a literal husk or a person but by no means am I an idiot or a doormat as he thinks. My Boys have me and only me so I need to be strong
