What to do about horrible partner

Hi, I've just had a baby 2 weeks ago I also have a 6 year old from previous relationship. My partner has turned into an asshole since having the baby he goes out every night drinking doesn't help with the baby or around the house apart from making more mess for me, he'll change one nappy and make out he's done god's work he sleeps on the sofa at night and when I get up in morning with baby and start getting my daughter ready for school he goes into my room and gets into bed and sleeps all day. Last night I told him not to come back to my house it's not his house and he came back anyway I asked him to leave he then said to me the only way you'll get me out is if you phone the police and then I'll tell them you're a bad mum and get both your kids taken away. This upset me and I don't know why he'd say that I've not done anything wrong he also then proceeded to tell my I'm a bad mother to his child and my other child, which I'm not it wouldn't matter what I did or do it would never be enough. I came back from my mum's the other day and I couldn't get in my own house because he 'accidently' left the key in the door I phoned him to open the door and he said where have you been I said at my mum's and he said stop lying and accused me of being with another man which was not true. He then stormed out the house in temper and didn't come back until the next day he's done this numerous times and when he does come back he pretends nothing has happened. But after what he said last night that feels like the last straw for me and I want out of the relationship but I'm scared he's going to do what he said and cause problems. He also wants a dna test for our baby because he doesn't believe it's his baby he also tells everyone this insinuating that I sleep around which has also annoyed me. He's now currently giving me the silent treatment hasn't spoken in 2 days or even looked at his baby. He's never around always out with friends never asks if I'm okay or if his baby is ok. It's starting to affect my mental health and feel so drained. What can I do any advice please

Ps: if you couldn't look after the child, he'd have to. And do you really think he could be arsed with that? Of course not lol. So he's having you on about causing trouble for you in that way lol.

But of social services find that you stay with an abusive man like him...that abuse of its mother is happening infront of the child...THAT could mean the kid getting taken. So realistically, by staying with him you could be risking the kid being taken someday. If these living circumstances were reported. Unlikely, but possible.

Kick him out, of course.

He doesn't have the right to treat you like that. He is trying to undermine and abuse you. He thinks you'll put up with him because of the baby. It won't get better, so you need to act to give your child a decent home.

What a twat! He is bringing nothing positive to your life. Let him "try" and get the kids taken off of you, even if social services pay a visit they will see they are well cared for and that you are being abused. It would be an idea to try and get a nasty text off of him for proof, text him and ask him why he is being so horrible to you etc. Then get the police to remove him from your home. If he wants a DNA test so badly then let him pay for it.

Tell your HV and midwife. Throw him out of your home, change the locks and ignore him if he comes banging on the door.

Do you have a family member or friend who could support you and maybe stay with you for a while?

SauceForTheGoose · 18/05/2023 22:26

Op, I'm so sorry. It's devastating when you are faced with the reality of a useless/selfish OH. Leave him. The sooner the better for YOU. Sending you strength.

Your poor little 6 year old daughter - being around a useless aggressive man like that. You have a choice, she doesn’t. You know he’s a shit and has no care or respect for you. Please sort yourself out, call in all the authorities mentioned on this thread and get rid of him for the sake of your children and their future.
