Re: boyfriend who continues to break promises and act single
Don't believe him when he says he will change, even if he has got a job now it is too late. He has humiliated and mistreated you, whatever he says now you need this tosser gone. Don't let your daughter go to college thinking that it is ok to let a man treat her like this.
I think it shows that you have not hardened your heart enough that you gave him a lift to the train station after Christmas, after the kind of behaviour you are describing I would have locked the doors and called the police to come and get him, or at least let him sleep in the cold if he is not capable of making his own way to the train. He has earned no favours from you and I'm surprised you felt safe getting in a car with him.
Seriously, burn all the bridges and never see or talk to him again. You can do much, much better.

As for you helping them to move in cold weather - that's kind of just what family does for each other.
You are staying in THEIR home with YOUR daughter - but upset that you are expected to help out around the house. That seems off to me.
They want to have a life away from raising your daughter and picking you back up after your boyfriend from hell - I think that they have a point, don't you?

DO NOT fall for this giant pile of horseshit. My ex was the SAME EXACT WAY (minus the toilet water incident)....the more you talk to him the more it makes him think he can do whatever he wants, and treat you however he wants and you will eventually give in and talk to him and consider taking him back.
You will find better, I promise!!!!!
That it did. I try to take posters at face value, but sometimes you get a feeling.... In this case it was correct. I like the "I just want to move somewhere warm and start over" it's a good indication of OP's maturity level. Between that and her family does nothing for her, but she lives with them and they take care of her kid...uh yeah, they sound horrible for wanting to move on with their lives since they've already raised their kids. Mmm hmmm.
Is he like 5 years old? What kind of an adult with all his marbles does this to another person?
If I was your father or mother and I saw him do that, he'd be OUT my door the hard way --- I'd have lambasted him from here to Mars.
What you need to do:
Ditch him, if you have not done so already. Get away from his childishness, his undependability and the passive aggressive bullshit.
You also don't need a fucking drunk or barfly. Get rid of him.
Clean break and total break; change your phone numbers, your email addy, any way he can get ahold of you, alter it so that he cannot contact you. Get away from this piece of dirt.
NO dating for a good year or 2 --- get into therapy and find out why you accepted such a douchebag to date. You need to learn how to be fussier and more discriminating in your choices of a boyfriend.
If you see him somewhere, do NOT say hello: there is NO NEED to do so.
He says he wants to get married?
Tell him that you'll find a real nice girl for him!!!
holy cow.....run, woman, RUN, while the runnin' is still GOOD!!!!!
I am guessing you are in your 30s or perhaps even your 40s --- the best way to meet somebody is via a common cause:
Volunteer
Coed Sports teams or lessons
Club or organization where you will meet somebody via a common interest
Martial arts lessons that are coed
Dance lessons held group fashion -- sign up for ballroom, Latin dance or hustle lessons
Community choirs, comminity theatre groups (they are always looking for behind the scenes help and personnel)
If you're an artist, get out into the art world!
Your local college alumni association should be a good source for you, too, to meet somebody.
You might also try a part time job, maybe in retail. That might be another good way to meet somebody.
