Advice needed... Please...

My partner and I have been together for 7YRs here soon.

We have one child who is special needs and I am disabled (long term).

Our relationship has had standard problems; finances, cars, etc.

But, through the years...

I've lost my passions. I don't read anymore. I don't care to. I don't cross stitch. Don't care to. I don't do any of the things I loved. I don't care to.

He has used the past (my emotions and actions) against me. Whether we were together or not.

We've broken up four times but he says it's only been once...? Which is just so strange to me...

There's so much more, this is just all I can put right now.

What do I do? He lives with me, has no means of his own. No family. I do not know what to do.

Can we salvage?

You’re not his mother; put him out if you feel you need to. Your child needs you to be the best you; especially with special needs as you are going to his BIGGEST and BEST shot at getting everything he needs and wants to be successful. Sit down and have a real conversation first and see what’s going on and where things stand

He has no respect for anything to do with me.

Husband and I decided to separate 3 days ago. I've been sleeping on the floor in the kids room, and we both have to stay in the same apartment for a while. He wont stop pushing little things and I am reaching my limit. Photos in comments

Toddlers

How often are your toddlers asking for food? My oldest who is 3 just finished a whole plate of food and not even 10 minutes later he’s requesting more food. I know he’s going through a growth spurt, but how do you respond to this.

Is this normal?

Is it just my husband that does this? He is able to work from home via his computer and in the mornings and evenings he is on there doing his job. When he is done for the day he tends to stay in the room and either play video games or watch something. He will occasionally come out and play with the girls for a few minutes and that’s it but when I really need him he says he is busy. My daughters are both 1 year old now and I am just wondering how much involvement should he have with them now?
Idk if this is the norm or not…..

Saying NO to buying toys etc

5 year old is getting really envious of others. He is obsessed with items that other kids have at school. I am pestered daily to buy these things in a different style when we already have 3 others. I have seen parents just buying stuff their kid likes which I don't necessarily agree with even when i can afford it. How do you deal with it?

Identity crisis?

Am I the only sahm who feels like they have lost their identity??? I don’t make money for my family, when I used to make great money. But I refuse to drop my under a year old baby off with strangers.
My husband works so much. But I have no control over bringing in money and I’m a control freak type of person! I feel l like I’m losing my grip because we are kind of broke, but day care would only eat up my income anyways! So what’s the point. I’m a workaholic and now I’m just a twitching bum.
I wish I could work from home but so far that’s a fake dream. I’m almost 9 months pp, and I just need to know these awful mood swings and depression will end soon! Send wine!
