Is she trying to scare me?
I’m 18 and due to give birth in 2 months. My boyfriend and his family want me to bring the baby to live with him & my parents want me to stay here.
I don’t think staying with my parents is a good idea bc my dad is an addict and has admitted to being a control freak and a bad parent. He tried to break us up bc he “couldn’t control me dating him” in his own words. Right before I got pregnant, he threatened to try to break my boyfriend’s neck for no reason. But now that baby is here, everyone wants to sweep it under the rug and act like he’s all of a sudden dad and grandpa of the year. But I see through it - for example, my parents worked together but my mom quit because he stressed her out so bad - he would go out of his way to watch what she was we doing and would get creepily jealous if she had any other friends. That was 2 years ago and he has been pushing hard for her to come back. He just made a rule for her that she has to come back if she can’t find a “good job” by the end of May. But ofc, she doesn’t tell anyone that - she just acts like everything is magically perfect.
Before, my mom told me she would understand if I moved. But they are “okay” now and now she’s trying to talk me out of going bc she’s scared. (Not to mention she caters to him🙄) And I feel like she’s pushing it. Today, my dad texted her saying the baby can go on his insurance. And my mom conveniently wanted to talk about “how worried she was” and she compared my boyfriend to my oldest sister’s dad - a deadbeat who (at least used to) pawn off my brother’s stuff and beat women. 😐 His biggest goal for his son was for them to smoke weed together. Now, my boyfriend is not perfect, our relationship isn’t perfect, and we’ve been fighting a little. BUT I don’t think it’s anything that warrants being compared to someone who is an abusive deadbeat.
