UPDATE: there is nothing wrong with my animals. There’s just a lot and I don’t know anything about the court and I don’t want to be in that mess to begin with. I have 6 cats, and 4 dogs. The house is cleaned every single day as well as the floor scrubbed. The animals are trained, small, (2 shitzus, Pomeranian, chihuahua,) he has never been an animal person and made it clear to me and we always got into arguments and I’ve always said HE chose to stay with me; as he CHOSE to live with me when he got into his bike accident and had surgery and wanted to stay at my house and me take care of him rather than threw a fit to stay with his mom. All his argument is with the animals is that they will get the baby sick because they have “diseases” and they bring in diseases from going outside. The dogs stay in the master bedroom with my step dad, as well as 3 of the cats. So where we stay, there are only 3 cats wondering around and 2 of them go into the bedroom at night. The one cat that stays out and with me, is my cat and he absolutely hates him. My boyfriend HATES how much I love my cat, how I treat and take care of him. He always calls him stupid and retarded and jokes to throw him outside. My house is clean, the animals are tamed and sweet and have been around children. They’re all up to date besides the two kittens. He doesn’t have a real reason but I don’t want to lose him or have my daughter not have her parents together because of animals. We talked about getting a place together but that’ll be after baby is born, and then I can take my cat with us. But until then, it’s his moms house. My honest guess of him not wanting to stay there is because his mom BABIES him. She nags, but she babies him. Cooks for him, cleans after him, takes care of all of his things and he can talk to her however he wants and gets away with it and always gets what he wants. At my house, I make him be the man that his 27 year old ass should be.

So I’m 17 weeks pregnant, I’m staying with my boyfriend and his mom, and not my house because my boyfriend threatens to take me to court if I stay at my house because of my animals. He says theres too many and baby will get “diseases” being around them. They’re all small and haven’t bitten anyone, or hurt anyone. My house is a three bedroom house, when I got pregnant, he said we can have the nursery in the spare room, as it’s JUST my step dad living there. His moms house is a three bedroom, with his mom, him and this girl and her baby she took in. No extra room, let alone any space in his room for MY stuff. But in fear of anything happening, I just stay here.... very uncomfortable.

I’m trying to get used to it and be comfortable here but I have nothing here. I’m an artist, I draw, I paint and I tattoo and since I’ve moved here, I haven’t been able to do ANY of that, as that is also how I make my money. That is just a back story so you can understand a little.

His mom always comes home and complains, about everything. Not even going to lie, I hated how my bf talked to her but the more I stay here, the more I realize why. I tried today to have her come home semi happy, so I did the dishes and cleaned the kitchen, as she always complains about that, but what do you know? She comes home complaining about everything else. She comes to the room and complains about TWO CUPS in here... says that’s where all her cups went, like.... Two??? I just cleaned the dishes, they’re all right there ! Like I know she had to of gone to the kitchen before our room up stairs.

I’m getting so tired of staying here. I’m not comfortable. I don’t have my family. I don’t have my animal. I don’t have my art. I don’t have my space. I don’t have my comfort. I don’t have my things. I don’t have anything here and I can’t stay happy. I was appreciated for everything that I did at my house. But here? Nothing. If anything, I feel like more of a burden. I don’t know what to do.
