How am I supposed to act

[Danielle_NZ]

I am so sorry for your situation. Perhaps you could arrange with him that certain nights it's his responsibility to watch DD so you can escape for some you time. You may not want to but talking from experience even sitting in a park, visiting a friends or walking around a mall can make a world of difference, you won't feel like such a prisoner in your own home. Set yourself goals to move on and get your own place. Small steps but an end will be in sight, might make it more bearable.

Hugs.

jessica, that is such a tough place to be in.

i agree that if you can't move out, can you get some time out for yourself? i continued to live with someone after we broke up for 10 months - we were both living overseas so didn't have any family to go to. it was so tough & the only thing that kept me sane was to get out & do things & to also invite friends over for dinner on the nights he wasn't home. of course that was easier as i didn't have a child to look after as well.
