Name calling

[Jmumof2]

Hi I have a son aged 12 about to turn 13 and a newborn well 10 weeks now.  I dont want to be a single parent again so I’ve been holding in alot of things that have been bugging me about my partner but this week he has been causing problems between me and my older son, going against what I’m allowing him to do and telling me what I should be doing with him. He does let me go to sleep but never does housework. I’ve said what’s on my mind a few times this week and tonight it all erupted! He snapped at me about doing something as if he isn’t my young ones dad, I dont know if I took it wrong way but I snapped back and he was calling me a ****, telling me to **** off etc my older son immediately left the room but he didnt stop.  He has justified calling me that aswell later on.. should I just brush it off as tiredness. I dont know what to do but later on when I told him to stop he just kept going like he was playing on fact in front of kids…

Newborns can be hard work, and sometimes things can get out of proportion.

I’d sleep on it, then take the time to think if you were both just tired and snappy or  has he become abusive & aggressive since the baby was born.

if the latter, then being a single mum is easy compared to living with an abuser who will make your and your older son’s life a misery.

Thankyou yes well hes never called me anything before but he doesnt like it cos I’ve said that I dont like what hes been saying. He has been acting like it’s all on me with our son aswell..
