Conflicted, any suggestions will help

I'm expecting a child and staying with my parents. I really cannot tolerate my mom's emotional abuse as she will bring up the past and thinks she is always right. She expects a yes answer for the questions she asks. As such, I end up quarelling with her which I feel is no good for the child. Yet I can't move into my parents in law place because their house is messy and not conducive for my pregnancy and post pregnancy recovery. Neither can we move into a government pphs scheme as my husband need to take care of his unwell parents. We have tried for HDB SBF and BTO for a few times but without success. While we are planning for a resale, renovations cannot be done during pregnancy as far as I understand (pan tang). Please give some suggestions thank you

Given no choice, buy resale and get it renovated. If you 'pantang' then don't step into the house while renovating and moving in, ie move in when everything is done. Alternatively, rent a unit.
