in Mamas with depression, anxiety, and other mental health disorders

Disrespectful partner

My partner is controlling and laughs at things I do for my child. He likes to function as the homemaker and constantly makes me feel inferior. A couple days ago, I had the energy to fold some laundry and organize my child’s clothes for colder weather. I told my partner that I want the linen closet looking organized the way I did it and the way I organized our child’s clothes. I couldn’t even complete my explanation because he kept laughing in my face. He laughed 3 times. I couldn’t even have a normal conversation about it. I had to raise my voice to be heard. I’m so tired of his disrespect. I want to separate from him. I’m hoping a new therapist can help me gain the strength to help us separate. He can get really angry. Though he hasn’t physically hurt me, he has punched my work computer and thrown things and a chair down the stairs. Do you think a 40 something old man like this can change? Or should I just separate. I’m so tired of being unloved and disrespected. I don’t have a family to go to. My mom and dad have passed and my brother doesn’t care to check-in on my well-being. I don’t have trusted friends to help me.

Show your support

Separate before you’re the one thrown down the stairs.

You can’t teach an old dog new tricks. My mom has always said a narcissist will never change

first of all, i’m really sorry that you’re experiencing this and especially with a child involved. it sounds to me based on what you’ve written that you know what the right thing to do is. i think it’s going to take a tremendous amount of strength and courage but i do believe that you have that in you. if i am honest, you say that he has never hit you but from what i have just read, i am not confident that things will remain that way down the line. the way that you are feeling is more than valid, please know that. you may not have close family or trusted friends to help you through this but you have the most powerful love in the world - the love of a mama. i would really recommend reaching out to some local or national domestic abuse charities, who will be able to offer you lots of support. my thoughts and love are with you and your little one🫶🏼

40 year old ??????? I would say to leave him does he go to counseling?

Leave before you’re the ones he’s hurting

You need to pack yours and your child’s stuff and leave don’t leave a note or anything just leave no one deserves to be treated like that it would be the same advice for decent man as well clearly your so called man is a dick and don’t deserve you and your child xx

How disrespectful 😤 I'm mad for you. And I agree with others comments big red flag 🚩 he needs to go xx
