You say you rent the house from your parents, do you have a tenancy agreement and rent book?

No, but I can speak to them about that, they will help with whatever they can do to help.

Just told my parents-they were not really shocked, and have really echoed all you have said on here.
Thanks everyone so much for your support. I just need to keep strong, I know he will not change. I just feel so low.

MERFE

emsy you have done the right thing, so glad you have told your parents. Like others have said its not gonna be easy but you can do it and in the long run you and the little uns will be so much better off for it too. x

Well done, that's a bit step.

Just to add, I agree with the other poster who said you should consider getting the dog rehomed. It might be tricky if your LO is attached to the dog but they might be able to see that it's for the dog's own good.

Of course you feel low, it's quite understandable, you'd need to have a heart of solid stone not to. You've just made one of the hardest decisions of your life but I expect that now you've told your folks you probably feel quite relieved. It's all very, very stressful making a massive change but you can get through this as others have testified. Now you can concentrate on making a much better life for yourself and your little family. Once you start all the pre-natal classes and whatnot you'll be meeting new people in similar situations and you'll be able to start networking and maybe get some moral support and perhaps even some practical help as well.

You CAN do this on your own, because although it may be hard work, it'll be MUCH easier than doing it with him around. You will cope!

He needs to sort himself out and give up drinking, and you can't do that for him. If he sees alcohol as more important than being a father, then so be it.

And besides, you always have us lot on here to rant to when times are tough!

I have decided to re-home her, as I simply could not cope with having her by myself.
No one would love her more than I do, but hopefully they will love her as much, and have much more to offer her.

I am apparently not allowed to go to pre-natal as I already have DD.
