The more you post, the more I worry about you.

At BEST, you have some serious mental health issues youo'r enot telling us about but instead of addressing them, he's using them as a stick to beat you with. (this is still not a good scenario)

Far more likely is th eworst case scenario where he is an abusive, controlling man and is setting you up for failure. Trying to take your children away while you're still int he relationship and thehome is especially worrying.

I agree with oither posters - please contact womens aid asap. Do you have any access to finances? Are you married?

My mum's moods ruled the household. I wish my dad had said something instead of expecting us to wallk on eggshells tbh.

That said he sounds like an arsehole, your husband. So there's that.

Have you read the whole thread? Don't think the mother is the one with the mood problem here.

He's now saying that he thinks im not safe around our toddler.. he's used the words 'erratic behaviour, not safe, and concerning' and he will take the baby away when he sees that... im just so upset.. I feel like I'm being squashed..

Call women's aid or something. Get your children out of there. And yourself.

How can you be helped into leaving your abuser?. You feel like you are being squashed because you are indeed being squashed. He will continue to destroy you (and in turn your kids) from the inside out if you remain with him.

You are in an abusive relationship with this man who is actually projecting his own self onto you. It's HIS moods that dictates this household, not you. HE is the one who is erratic and not safe here. You have no power or say in this relationship at all. He is also financially abusing you as well by you having little to no access to funds.

What is the situation re the property?. Is this in his sole name?.

The only acceptable level of abuse in a relationship is none and so this relationship is over. Do contact Womens Aid for their support and how to leave safely.
