Needing advice
My baby's dad and me have been arguing almost every day from name calling to him even physically assaulting me, telling me that he does all the work and that I'm not good enough making out like I'm a bad my baby is not even 1 mouth and he's already threatened me with lawyers I do all the housework and look after the baby I'm not just with him because of the baby and want to try and work things out we are both young and sleep deprived but I don't know if it's more then that I'm trying my best but getting put down all the time I'm at a loss at the moment I'm also grieving and unwell but still doing just the same if not more and him acting like its a chore looking after our child I guess I just don't know what to do
Show your support
Try bringing it up with his mom…. She should educate her son on how to treat a new mom who should be getting all the help she could get and not the other way round! But I don’t know the family dynamics and wouldn’t want my advice to backfire on you… but it’s NOT ok to be treated this way.

Unfortunately, you don’t need to worry about a choice, when someone treats another with disdain, the likelihood they will stay together is slim. Being tired is no excuse for physical assault. I’d suggest getting as much support from friends and family you trust as possible. I’d never tell you to make a decision about your relationship but his behaviour really has to change if you want it to work. It’s easy to tell a stranger on the internet to just break up, but it’s never easy to work through or take that step if that’s what you decided to do. So, my main piece of advice is to get support, join groups with strong mums in, talk to friends, and get a therapist if you can, I found that so helpful to get clarity myself when looking at relationship issues. Hope all works out well for you. Ps you probably already know what to do, just take your time to do it! One day you’ll be 100% sure xx
