approaching SO about counseling.
Long rant please read to the end before commenting. I got pregnant unexpectedly at 22 as I was finishing college. I love my SO and we have been together for two years and we decided to keep the baby. Unfortunately because neither of us had stable jobs we decided to move in with my in laws. Well my SO got started in his career in March (baby came in April) while I still worked in retail. I had an awful delivery and was in and out of the hospital for months after delivery. Now baby is approaching 4 months old and I am more stable. I approached my SO about moving out because we are in his childhood bedroom with no room and he said money was too tight and we should stay. I hate living here his mother is nasty to me and his family makes me feel like an unwelcome guest. They have a complete disregard for anything I do with my son and always try to counter act it like my schedule etc. and they call me a bad
Mother for not letting him watch tv or not picking him ip to carry him around (I was physically unable to). I was diagnosed with PTSD after my delivery and am struggling. I try to talk to my SO and when he tried to talk to them they just tell him he's a bad father and doesn't know what he is talking about because he is too young. Everyday I contemplate leaving all want to do is lock me and my son in a room to hide from them. Our relationship has seriously suffered. I love who he is as a person and he's great with our son and helping me on weekends and when he gets home from work but it's like he doesn't care that I'm unhappy here and always changes the subject when I say I want to move out. I can't do this anymore. My LO and I deserve better than his family being rude and not welcoming us. I want to suggest counseling because I love him and when we didn't live with his parents we had a great relationship and I want that back. I don't hate his family even though they don't treat me well and I think if we have space from them our relationship with his parents will get better. I just don't know how to approach it because I'm at the point when I'm going to have to leave soon for my own mental health.
