Anyone and everyone please help, I don't know where I am at.
Hi there, if you are reading this then thank you, I have hit a bump in the road, my tears have dried and i need some advice from anyone that is able to give it.
I have been with my partner since 2011....... I have two teenage sons from my previous marriage that live 8 days a fortnight with their dad and the rest of the time with me. My other half has 1 teenage son and 9&10 year old girls. This year his ex left her husband and packed up her daughters to move in with us full time. Their son (15) still lives with their mum. It has been a rocky road on and off from the start, i have depression which I am medicated for and for the most parts I keep myself in check.
I'm really struggling with the way my partner speaks to me and what he allows in our life, he calls me names when I try to speak with him about what is on my mind an then becomes very angry and says if I don't conform he will leave.
His ex is always needing something from him, money, favours etc and he does it for the kids but when is enough enough, when does one realise they are being taken advantage of, his daughters are even aware of their mothers never ending drama, just not him. He says I need a coping mechanism, I received text messages from her or someone that knows her this year, telling me to step aside so she can take back what is hers and also I'm going to be dead ad lots of horrible names, my partner tells me to let it go and get over it, please can someone tell me how to do this?
I sought out counselling at which point I get teased because now I am a know it all when I try to apply strategies my therapist suggested.
Everything I do is wrong, I ask how to fix things and he just says by keeping my mouth shut..... How can I make him hear what I have to say without getting angry and abusisve..... It's breaking me.
