SAHM and partner is never home

This may be long but needing advice. Me and my partner have a 1 year old son together. He works hard, is goal driven but is also very selfish and inconsiderate. Within weeks of being pregnant I had health issues (severe morning sickness, fainting so badly I’d pass out) causing me to have to leave work and be at home. It’s then the comments about me not working started and how his mother worked while pregnant with both her kids so why couldn’t I? Even though it was explained from family members that my health wouldn’t allow it. He started going out drinking most nights rather than preparing for a baby so I knew this was a bad sign, it never stopped even once baby was here he would work and go straight to the pubs or a friends house. Every weekend he would be black out drunk demanding me to get him at 4-5 am with a newborn. I recently had a miscarriage resulting in a lot of complications and health problems and only two weeks ago I had a stroke. It is blatantly obvious I am sick and stressed and needing more support yet he still goes out and when he comes home the comments about what have I done all day start. I don’t see this changing and if not even a stroke can get him to wake up and see for my health and our sons wellbeing he should be stepping up more then I’m worried the last option is to pack up and leave, but again I am in such a low place health wise and mentally being a single mother will be an even heavier burden. Please help :(

The first part I'm guessing is the hardest. Kind of like a drug where you have withdrawals

Yes but it will get easier. Sometimes I wonder if we can get addicted to the highs and lows of a bad relationship. Time to start putting yourself first.

I'm so sorry to hear what you have been through. Just one of those many things would send a person over the edge. You are worth more and you deserve so much more. Please don't let him treat you like this.
Your well being will be so much better without him as it seems many of your problems come from him and his behaviour.
He won't change, he has shown you this.

Also, Please don't call yourself stupid! His actions and behaviour shows there is something wrong with him NOT YOU!

Thankyou, everyone here has been so lovely and supportive. I think I'm most upset that it took me this long to see it for what it is. But on the up side, I'm not spending full days cleaning after a pig I actually have the time to take myself out for coffee or my son to parks!
