So I’m living in a domestic violence situation and I have a 9 month old son.ive been dealing with this since I returned from the hospital with him.my husband isn’t much help with the baby.most of my family aren’t help either.and I’m also just feeling feeling like nobody is taking anything but themselves seriously.everybody is only worried about themselves and there own personal life but I bet you if something bad where to happen to me or my baby during this time they will regret not taking our situation more seriously and prioritizing it over whatever there concerns are.when I needed childcare so I can work and save to move out they where no help.they won’t co-sign on a apartment or put themselves on a lease for me,despite me not ever asking them for anything this far and being responsible.like is your credit being good worth my life?? My brother complained because I was asking him for money.keep in mind he’s a truck driver and makes alot of money and I ALWAYS paid him back.mit took me longer to pay him back around this time because I wasn’t working at the time.i lost my job when I was 8 months pregnant but I still paid him back every time.before j on got pregnant I stayed with a job and always paid him back early and asked to borrow litterly every blue moon and it was never more then $50 for my phone bill.he said him and his wife will keep my son for a month so I can get out the situation I’m in but brought him back maybe a week later because his wife was nauseous (which it seems like she always has something going on with her).my mothers sisters are even no help and one of them even told me that I gotta quit my job if I couldn’t find a babysitter.she said this in defense of my big sister who don’t even have her kids because she’s a drunk and not a good parent and she does drugs.keep in mind our mother passed away when i was only 10 or 11 back in 2012.so even with them knowing this and knowing that she would’ve been all the support I needed they still choose to act like this.am I being dramatic????

Wow girl this is a lot to unpack. Google domestic violence shelters in your area and get in touch with someone as soon as possible. They can get you hooked up with the correct places for childcare, safe living places, and financial support until you can get on your feet. If no one else is caring for you and your baby, you need to do it yourself. Fuck your family and just do it for you because your baby needs you to. Contact someone and they will help you make the best moves to get out safely.

Maybe give a few a call in the morning and if they are full get on their wait list and ask if they know of any other shelters with vacancy or emergency placement
