SUBJECT:

Signigicant Other Won't Help

I am a 21 year old mother of a 27 month old. I am 3 months pregnant w/ our second child. I live with my boyfriend (babies daddy) and he is the type who hardly ever has a job. When we met we used to party a lot and once I became pregnant that had to stop for me, but not for him. He still goes out to drink and party and a lot of times he doesn't even come home until the next morning. He sleeps all day and gambles all of our money away. We don't even have a bank account. He never helps around the house and I am stuck doing everything. There was even a time while he wasn't working that I was paying for daycare because he refused to watch our daughter! I feel like I am stuck in this situation because I don't really have anywhere else to go to. No matter how hard I work or even whether or not he has a job, he gets to sleep in on the weekends. If I stay home sick, he's the one who gets to sleep in! Things are so unfare and I don't know what to do. He never helps and although he claims he loves me so much, he just doesn't care about my needs. I don't know what to do. Any advice?
