Depressed

Does anyone else’s partner ever just make them feel like complete utter shit ? In our bedroom we have a bar and it’s currently 3 people in the one room so it’s crowded and behind the bar was storage, but now we are getting a puppy in a month and my partner is screaming at me because of all the stuff behind the bar saying that I never do anything I never do any cleaning… We live with his parents and I’m expected to keep the whole house clean, do the washing, do the dishes basically clean up after everyone (5 adults and 1 child including myself) on my own while watching my son and making sure he doesn’t get into anything he shouldn’t while I’m in a completely different room. Now lately I’ve been feeling very depressed I’m struggling to get out of bed every day and at the end of the day I sit outside for hours just staring at nothing. Today my partner had me in tears all day because he cleaned behind the bar and I have a little wooden pram that was made for me when I was born and that all I have from when I was a baby and he expects me to throw it away…. I don’t know if I’m just overreacting or not but I’m in a house where all my stuff is locked away in a storage unit over an hour away and all I have at the house is mainly the things I’ve bought over the 3-4 years I’ve lived here and it’s not much that I have here. My partner cracks it when I ask him to take me to the storage unit so I can grab myself a few books or something. I just wish I had my stuff and could get to it when I want it.

I’m so sorry that you are in this position. It has to be hard not being in your own space with your things and it sounds like around people that don’t make you feel good. Honestly, it sounds like your partner may be doing some gaslighting and some emotional abuse. And the fact that you around their family makes it even harder to hold your own. Trust me, I get it! Having trouble with your partner and then having their bad behavior reinforced by the family is terrible for your mental health. I am not sure if you have any one else that is near you that you can talk to. Because you are absolutely not overreacting or asking too much or acting crazy. It sounds like finding outside support would be really helpful
