I'm so ready for throwing the towel in, had my dsd Monday night Tuesday night, but that's not the problem her mates in tow, I'm on maternity with an 8m old, my partner doesn't even ask and fucks of to work at 6 in the morning so guess who's left to look after them me, he's away to get her again knowing she won't stay on her own then will blow off to work in the morning again.

I handed my niece who I had from Oct through social over to her dad full time cause I felt down and depression was kicking in, I'm starting to fell used and no thoughts given, I can't go on like this, I'm starting to fall in to depression again, I'm going to declare myself homeless tomorrow cause where I live now is not my home, as I get no say in it what so ever.

Don't know the meaning of this post just needed to vent before I go over the edge.

How old is your SD?

You need a strong conversation with your partner. Tell him if he’s not there, neither is she. Don’t be used. You must speak up.

Yup - this.

Sounds like your “D”P is completely taking the mick. How did he manage to care for DSD on his days before you were together?

As others have said, you need to have a very serious conversation with him about how he needs to care for his child / arrange alternative summer childcare not just using you as the default child care without even checking first.

Oh dear me no. Why is he just dumping his kid on you. He is the parent he needs to step up.

Take care

@Babyghirl

Do you have any family you could go and stay with for a while until you are able to get more long term help? Or perhaps speak with Women’s Aid or Citizens Advice to see what advice they can give you. Additionally if you can, check out www.entitledto.co.uk to see what benefits you might be eligible for. 🌹
