So many food storage containers

That’s awful. Adopt a child and ditch the family I’d say.My fiancé and I initially said we didn't want children. He doesn't get along with young children (not a rabid child-hater; he just doesn't feel he'd be able to take care of one all the time) and pregnancy/birth aren't for me. Now, however, we're discussing the possibility of adopting an older child. I made the mistake of mentioning this in the family and asking for advice and it's just been a barrage of "you can't do that, it's not YOURS, children are only put up for adoption if something is wrong with them, people will ask questions, at least if you MUST do it try and get a mixed-race child so they look like yours ..." Making me question if it's such a good idea, do we want to bring in a child that's going to get that thrown at them all their lives?
Get onto woman's aid (phones manned 24 hours a day) or ask the police/CAB for help on what you can do.( as there are other things you can do. ) I not only had to live in a woman's aid hostel but worked for them as well. They can sort money, solicitors, and temp housing, or even permanent housingHe does control the money, yes. No friends or family here so he knows I'm isolated. He's managed to turn our son against me so I've been dealing with his daily abuse too. My Mum can give me some money but I need my share out of the house to put a lump sum down to rent as no one will touch me on benefits and he won't sell. Don't suppose you know the winning lottery numbers for this weekend???
