What would you do?

I’m 18 and 15 weeks pregnant today. I live at home, have a good paying job ($16/hr), and have been with my boyfriend for 3 years. My family life has been really stressing me out, my dad is a heavy drinker and is very narcissistic while my mom is a pushover and lets him walk all over her. I want to move out because I’m sick of the constant fighting, I’m sick of watching my mom get pushed around, I don’t want my baby raised around this. The thing about moving out though is that I would be moving to my boyfriends and he lives almost an hour away, so I would have to quit my job because I did the math and the time and money just isn’t worth it. I do have some money saved but I don’t know if it would be enough to get by for a little while ($13,000). I think my work also plays into my mental health struggles because they are very knit-picky & very passive aggressive and unprofessional. I’m trying to stay so I can make as much as I can for the baby. But my boyfriend says he thinks I should quit and that he will cover what we miss.

So I’m thinking my options are;

#1: Stay and work up until the baby

#2: Take time off and go to my boyfriend’s to get a break (although Idk how this would work because my dad is the type that feels strongly on not missing work unless absolutely necessary and I don’t want any issues with him(

#3: Quit and move out
