What does it mean?

[soulsister14]

Me and my ex broke up, we have a home (it’s only him on the mortgage)and a child, been together double figures. He said ‘I don’t want you to leave, it’s your home’ and so he left and stayed with family and left me and DD in the house.
I felt a bit trapped so said I was packing my stuff up and leaving his response was ‘well this is sad’. I feel like he’s emotionally abusing me. Please advise!

Just to note, he left me! Because he said he doesn’t see a future.

Why did you break up? I feel this may give more perspective

I personally would stay in the house if the breakup has come out of the blue, u less you can get your ducks in a row rather quickly, then you can go if you like. I personally would need more time, how will you be financially?

I don't see any emotional abuse from him going by what you've posted?

He sounds quite reasonable. He needs to contribute to housing his child, but not you. He’s housing both.

In what way do you feel he's abusing you? It's not apparent, from what you've told us. What do you want advice on? Interpreting what he's said? Interpreting your own feelings? Practical matters?

Sounds like he’s trying to make sure you and dc are ok despite the breakup ?

Don’t see emotional abuse here.

Where will you and dc go?
Will you be better off staying in the house for some stability for your dc ?

By making her feel guilty by not staying in the family home

Do you not think OP might like to answer for herself, @highlo ?
