This is about to split up my family.

Your MIL said you could live at her home, b/c the baby needs a mom? Was she expecting you to leave the baby there?

If you've lived there for a year with no rent and no car payments, where has all that money gone that your DH has made?

These are the situations that govt assistance are for.

I find it hard to believe you can't figure out another living situation. Why don't you look into applying for state assistance, look for a job, check out unemployment etc. You are 22 for goodness sake, act like it and make some grown up decisions.

Go to your Mom's. You need to build confidence in yourself in order to be a good role model for your child. I know it will suck being away from your DH, but remember it is only temporary.

Or, check into low income housing. I'm not familiar with social programs in the States, but look into it.

She's 16 (and a bratty one, at that) and the MIL is just that, your MIL. Neither one of them have a right to take away your baby. What does your DH say about all of this? Is he telling them where to go and how to get there? Is he threatening to take the baby, as well if you leave to your Mom's? What does the MIL say about the 16 yo behaviour? Is she as blind as bat and thinks she's an angel?

Either way, get out of there at all costs. If you have an option of another place (your Mom's, at least), then go. If you have a better support system, you may be able to have help finding a job which will contribute to saving for a place of your and DH's own.

Quit blaming everyone else for your mess. Apply for welfare/WIC/section 8 housing/medical assistance and get out. Bring your husband, or leave him with his mama, whatever. You're not the first broke, young mother to grace this country and government programs exist specifically for people like you- to get you on your feet until you can support yourselves.

Your husband works and you've been living with almost zero expenses for a year. Where's the money? Surely there's enough for a security deposit and 1st month's rent for an apartment near where he works after a YEAR of saving. If not, then your husband is either spending the money on hookers and blow, has a gambling problem, or isnt really working.

Dude. You should not even be thinking about planning or saving for a vow renewal ceremony. There are just so many other issues to worry about.

You absolutely need to stand up to them and go to your mom's. She cannot take your baby from you. That's just insane.
