my mother!
my husband, 6 year old daughter and I live with my mother and her long time substance abusing rage fueled bf. my husband is unmediated for bipolar, schizophrenia, depression, anxiety, a spine injury and knee injury that both need surgery. as it is, both men aren't working. her bf has tried to kill her twice, pulled a gun on me, all three times he was briefly kicked out and back in a number of weeks. my husband and I have 1 dog, a weenie dog, he has six pit bulls. we have to help pay for ALL of the dog food, and my husband has to do feeding because bf will lie about feeding them and let them starve and fancies himself a breeder so every few months there's MORE DOGS! my mother provided a list of daily chores for my husband who despite the fact he should be on disability is trying to find a job so we can move out and care for our 6 year old as well as get ready for our coming baby. the list is understandable, I mean if you aren't working do daily chores right? my husband was told to sweep and mop the whole house every day, do dishes every night and feed all of her bf's dogs. her bf on the other hand doesn't have to do anything. he never does dishes, never cooks or cleans, eats constantly (as soon as the dishes are fine he has refilled the sink) and, refuses to care for or train his dogs, throws a hissy fit when he doesn't get whatever he wants, steals from my husband and I, and is always yelling and slamming doors. it's not a safe environment and we are doing what we can to get out. but I feel it's taking too long. I haven't even told my mother I'm pregnant because my family is always ashamed of me. I've had a stable job since 16, worked mynah's off for everything, my daughter is cared for, loved, fed, my husband works on school work with her because they learn the same way and I'm just so sick and tired of the hipocrisy. my husband who loves us, tries to help as much as he can is always up again the firing squad while her bf is either in bed, storming the house, or visiting his buddies. I'm sick to death of living this way. we have to get out
