Young mom desperate for advice
Hi I'm new to this whole thing but I'm desperate for some advice.. I'm a 22 year old mom of a 1 year old little boy.. I'm a stay at mom and I am married to a guy who I've been with for 5 years... problem is my husband is very irresponisble and reckless.. he's got bad road rage problems he's verbally abusive to me and even gone as far as to swear at our child , he speeds, drinks and drives and I have to practically beg him to play with our son . I love my son with all my heart and have basically been raising him alone except for his financial input. My parents are very emotionally unsuportive and to make things worse I suffer from bipolar 2 disorder which is controlled with medication. My father is a lawyer but whenever I ask for advice on any level I get shut down and told I'm annoying and to go talk to someone else he doesn't have the time for me.. same with my mother.. they make me feel like the concerns I have are stupid.. My concern is the well being of my son in his dads care and even if I divorced him I still have to have my son see him.. I don't know how much control I have. The relationship my husband and I have isn't healthy because we are always fighting about his behaviour but I'm at least there to protect my son whereas if we got divorced I would not always be. Plus if I take him to court to get him supervised visits I'm worried his lawyer will throw bipolar into the mix and I fear losing my son. Thank you for your help in advance
