He keeps trying to chuck me out the house he said your gone after I made a mess several times in the bathroom . recently I spoke to some people at a shop they asked if I was okay so I told them a bit about my situation, the girl at the shop said I could talk to her anytime so I said some things about my situation he then said he wanted to talk to me the people at the mushroom shop had told everything we both said to him he said he had enough , he said this is why we have to move on I feel betrayed by the people in the mushroom shop they misquoted what I’d said he was angry.

He also he I was very miserable a while back he said we are selling the house as I came home after a few bears I was a bit tipsy my daughter was being cared for by him . I can’t do anything right I have no friends as they are ignoring me as they are busy my neighbour is in a bad way and wants to be left alone I’ve only got him and my daughter, my mum is too busy to see me very often , she told me to toughen up which wasn’t helpful she told me not to cry over losing my family and the house he says I go on about myself which he calls me a nightmare but I’m struggling I got discharged from mental health services recently they said I’m fine I’m not I’m taking antidepressants my antipsychotic s and benzos I’m only taking about my self as I’m struggling and looking for support I’m feeling scared about losing my family and my home , a social worker has tried to get me a flat by myself but that wouldn’t work I need supported accommodation i really wouldn’t cope living on my own

I agree but the only thing that frustrates me is that she doesn’t listen to the advice given.

She’ll start a thread and then leave it and then start another one.

She sounds incredibly vulnerable, talking to anyone who will listen and it sounds like her friends and family are struggling with her.

I feel really sorry for her DP and DC and hope she can move out soon so they can have a bit of stability.

I don't think OP is able to take in and process the advice to be fair.

Absolutely no idea what a mushroom shop is? Greengrocer?

I was thinking more of the magic variety, but I’m not sure if they’re sold in shops 😁

CodeAmber · 05/06/2026 20:34

Are Social Services involved?? Because they should be. Your poor daughter, who is looking out for her???

Well why doesn’t he just leave then ?

I think it’s his house.

I think you’re right.

Purplehearts45 · 06/06/2026 09:17

I’m listening to what you’re saying I’ve contacted my social worker I should have not trusted people in the mushroom shop they asked how I was ,they said I could talk to them then they went and told him what I’d said I didn’t say anything bad but he wasn’t happy I tried and have always tried to clean up the mess in the bathroom I have the shits really badly from bowel incontinace but I tried to clean it up I’m taking antidepressants but they aren’t helping I barely talk to him I sometimes tell Tim how I’m feeling as I’m struggling but I won’t do that again he said I go on so I won’t waste my breath on him he said I’m a nightmare as I go on but I don’t do it too much any more

Have you seen a doctor about your incontinence, do you wear a pad. It all sounds tough. What is the mushroom shop

rainbowstardrops · 06/06/2026 09:54

I think you should take up the offer from the person who said they’d try to secure you a one bedroom flat. This is so toxic for the poor child in all of this.

Purplehearts45 · 06/06/2026 15:14

he layed into me he had ago at me for eatting the last two pieces of bread he had ago at me for crying in the kitchen I was on the phone in the garden he had ago at me for being loud and talking on the phone all day I was phoning helpless all day to try and get support I was crying and raising my voice at him I was very upset he accused me for being up to old tricks and being manipulating for crying I wasn’t my mum upset me saying she didn’t want to hear complaints I phoned her up in distress

You need to get out of there OP (assuming it’s his house). You can’t stay in this situation. I may have missed it but do you have a social worker?

PetulaGordeno · 06/06/2026 15:18

It is clear that neither your mum or this man can cope with your distress levels which must be awful.
I think you have rung Samaritans in the past but I would ring 111 and ask for proper mental health support.
It is awful for all of you. This man is getting no peace and I also feel sorry for him.

Purplehearts45 · 06/06/2026 15:20

You said you need supported housing, you are not getting any support from him or your mum, you need to speak with your social worker or mental health team, no one is happy and you cannot stay in this situation, its not safe for anyone.

Can you clarify what the mushroom shop is?

Is it a drugs place, a grocery story or is it some sort of metaphor - ie it's the place where you have therapy?

LittleGreenDragons · 06/06/2026 15:35

You need to stop doing this OP. We cannot help you. You mum can't, your Ex can't and your dd certainly can't have you around while you are like this. You are harming her emotionally and mentally.

Go back to your GP and ask for further help. Only take medication prescribed by your doctors and stay off any street drugs.

StillNotDoingIt · 06/06/2026 15:38

OP, could you please explain to those asking what this mushroom shop is?

Most of us (me included) have never heard of a mushroom shop so are summing it’s either a metaphor for something or that you are buying hallucinogenic mushrooms despite seeking to have done severe mental health issues.

Why are you ignoring these questions? Why do you keep mentioning a mushroom shop but refusing to explain?

Monty36 · 06/06/2026 15:39

Please go to see your GP and take your medication that you have stopped taking. You do not seem to be well.

Is it his house you live in?

Nocameltoeleggingsplease · 06/06/2026 15:40

Is your DD his DD too?

Does he just want you to leave or your DD as well?

Basically he doesn’t have to be with you. If it was the other way around and a man was refusing to leave a house when a woman asked him to, there would be uproar on here. You say he is an arsehole. Maybe he is. Maybe he’s just fed up. Either way, you don’t seem to want to be with him and he doesn’t have to house you. He is not responsible for helping you get better. It sounds like there are professionals involved. Involve them.

And don’t go around bad mouthing him to people at the ‘mushroom shop’. And if the mushroom shop sells drugs, stop taking them because they will interfere with your prescription medication and make you worse.

LittleGreenDragons · 06/06/2026 15:53

If this poster is who I think she is then her ex has sole custody. She is not fit to take care of herself and hasn't for years. It's a pity she didn't take up the ss offer of that flat but she seems fixated on punishing her ex.

Well just leave then instead of rambling on about mushroom shops

prioritise yourself and your daughter

Givinguponmyhair · 06/06/2026 15:57

Are you afraid of living on your own?

ChickenBananaBanana · 05/06/2026 13:57

Why has my message been deleted? This is hippychick, she posts nearly daily about this and needs to get help to leave. He is not obligated to stay with her.

Thanks thought I recognised the poster

Leave, he can't live with you anymore. Go back to your social worker and doctor, take your medication and get yourself well enough to live on your own.
