I need advise

Hello everyone is my first post in here, and I really need some advise for my situation, I have a 21 old month baby, since he was born I've been with him I stop working one month before I was due, the things with my husband are not good at all, he didn't want to have the baby in the first place, and now all his recentment is out everytime he has the chance, he tells me that he couldn't retire before because of me and the baby, he even has said that god is punishing him, and today he told me that I should be ashamed because I have him working to support me and the baby, I'm mexican I don't have any family here to help me, and he doesn't either, I have to mention I'm 36 and he is 56 so almost all his family is dead, except for his brothers, he is the youngest tho, anyway to me is been so hard being hearing all the bs that he's been teling me I would love to find a job but I don't know anybody to leave my baby with, daycares are so expensive and of course husband doesn't wanna pay, my biggest concern is that my baby has been with me since day one, I don't even have a babysitter, because I have never used one, so I don't know what to do, I don't have the money to put him in a daycare, and I don't have anybody that I trust enough to leave him, and also I know that he is not gonna get used to be with somebody else just like that I think is a process.

Has anybody been in this situation??? How did u resolve it?
Or if u were in my situation what would u do???

I don't wanna live like this anymore, I have to go as soon as possible, please give me some advise.

Thank you very much..

I say you drop DH!!!  First of all it takes 2 to make a baby! #2 you are working taking care of that baby! The baby the two of you made! Weather your actually going to a job or not he still is resposible for it supporting it! #3 At what age was he going to retire?? 54? LOL! Retirement and social security doesn't kick in until 60.

I'm sorry but I get this really bad feeling your in a very bad relationship, controling  (maybe abusive?). If that is the case you need to leave him ASAP.

I had a friend in a similar situation. She went to a womans shelter for a while till she got on her feet. They had strict rules and curfews, but they helped her to get out on her own.maybe you should look into seeing what they offer and if they can help you.

 I agree with PP's. Find a shelter like the others said, they have excellent resources to good jobs and daycares. It may suck for a while but it can't be worse than what you're going through now. Good luck :)

i totally agree! Get out of this relationship! You deserve better than this. Your a full time mom which is so much more work than any other job i've ever heard of!

 I do not agree with some of these mom's post. I do not think leaving your husband is the way to go . Yes, he needs to step up and be a man and take responsibility. And yes it takes two to make a child so therefore he is just as much responsible as you are. I would seek some help somewhere and get you and your husband in and talk to someone. Maybe they can get to the bottom of why your husband feels this way. I take it he has no other kids and never has been married before? If so he needs to get some help on what it means to raise a family. Also communication is the key. I would sit down with him and say what do you want me to do. If I find a job then we have to get daycare. I can not pay for daycare on a salary that I may make. So therefore it still falls back on you. So ask him what he wants of you?

Don't leave him though. That would just make things worse.

Thank u very much for ur responses I do know I don't wanna be here, but the idea of going to a shelter I don't know if that's a goid place for my son.
Also I don't know if they would accept me since my husband doesn't hit me or stuff like that, that I think is worst than my situation and they need more help than me.

I have sitted with him and asked that he just said he doesn't want anything from me, and it is so hard to talk to him, I even told him before that we needed counseling, but he said he wouldn't go. So there's no much I can do..

Thank u for the advise though...

I don't think that would work, because after all we are a couple and we both need to be there, to tell us what is wrong with us, and what is bothering of each other.
That's why is a couple therapy, what's the point of going alone???
