We have been together for 7 years, our daughter is almost 5 and for 99% of the time she is not interested in doing anything else other than smoke cigarettes and weed, drink energy drinks, play nintendo switch and watch tiktok. The only time I really see her and talk to her is when she needs something or has to show me a tiktok.
She has lost her licence but takes the car every morning to get her drinks, then she is literally in the garage all day and comes to bed around 2-3am. I am not working atm but am scared to go back to work because I don't want my daughter to be neglected whilst I am there.
She could work but she is ultimately too lazy, and uses depression as an excuse, like who doesn't have depression. Our daughter goes to me or my older sister who lives with us, with any problems rather to her actual mom, it is really sad. And the worst part is that I didn't even want to have a child, she said she was going to get an abortion and then just never did then it was too late. But now I love her(daughter) more than life itself and just feel bad for her that she is her mom. I really don't know what to do. I am 2 months sober and just really want to drink so I don't have to think about how sad my life is.
TLDR partner is a terrible mom and partner, blames depression for all her negative behaviours, we have talked about whats happening, but no change lasts longer than 2 days. My sister is more of a mom to our daughter.
