Advice needed urgently please!!

I'm in a desperate situation here with no way out. Sorry for the long read!! Myself my husband and little girl were forced to move in with my in laws at the start of the year due to financial troubles. Fast forward to now we're in no better situation with money as husbands business didn't make any money and I'm now pregnant (26 weeks) with my second so if anything we're actually worse off 🥲😂 As I'm sure you can all appreciate, living with my mother in law has been unbearable and my mental health has suffered so much this year. Without going into things in depth she's a very over bearing person and I've missed all my babies firsts. The idea of staying here any longer is enough to make me want to give up entirely. We aren't able to live with anyone else. I basically forced my husband to get a salaried job as I was paying for everything and we wasn't making any progress. He earns 30k a year which is pennies that I know he resents me for. On top of that I've basically said we have to move out and attempt to make it on our own because I cannot be in this state of mind anymore especially with another baby on the way. He holds even more resentment towards me as he doesn't want to do it and doesn't "agree" with it but is "doing what I want" so what's the problem? Except I'm getting nothing but friction from him in every way. I get zero emotional support from him in any way and I feel so so alone. I'm really at a loss as to what to do as of course now I'm heavily pregnant with my second I feel like I've been coerced into this helplessness and I can't get myself out of this situation. I go round and round in my head and come back to the point that I'm stuck here with no way out with no support network from anyone. Any advice would be amazing please!!

Leaving is hard but that’s the only way you’ll thrive. You’ll know when you’re ready

I'd go to your local council and see if they can offer you some support. Personally I would leave your husband, I left my boyfriend a few weeks PP due to bickering and that break is exactly what we needed. If you left your husband I'm sure it'll make him think clearly and realise he does need to be there for you. I am sorry you're going through this but you've got to listen to what your gut is telling you. Please message me if you need anything

@Kerrie thank you for your response. The issue that I have is that this is his family's area and I'm on the other side of London to where my family is!! I don't want to be down here away from them any longer. Can I go to their council do you know? X

Yes as you have a connection in that area. I had to move from gloucester to Wiltshire and I was able to contact Wiltshire Council as I had a local connect that had been here more than 3 years

@Kerrie okay great! So just get in touch with their council?
