Hi Shelly19 ☺ welcome to bb
I don't at all think you're over reacting that's a really difficult position you're in.
Btw congratulations on your new bubba 😊
It's lovely him wanting to get her a car for sure and it'd be very hard for you knowing how she treats her Dad and her life style.
I think although I could see more strain on the relationship you have every right to put your foot down if he hasn't already got it.
I wonder does she live with you both.
Financial insecurity is a very high stress and raising children would be huge too. I wonder if you could put it to him as he sounds adament to meet you half way and save slowly for it and point out the high costs esp with a newby on board. Do you think he'd see reason? If not is there anyone else family friends he might listen too.
I feel sorry for you.
Also wondering if he has professional help of any kind and or meds for his depression. Depression and anxiety are both treatable, not overnight but it certainly is a light to look ahead towards.
Do you feel you could benefit as well lovey from some counselling, if you see your GP even it could be arranged that you both together if you felt comfy with that, they also could help guide you in coping and dealing with someone having depression. You have a lot on your plate. Certainly both your lives will be better with help lifting from depression and it'd no doubt decrease your anxiety.
