Here’s my story –

In the last year in a half, my father died, than a month later my dog died of 13 years, in the same month my fiancée and I ended a week before the wedding – this was all Nov 2015. Flash to this year, I met someone and we started dating 4 months ago…than in June, my daughter who is bi-polar had to be put in a mental hospital for a week because of suicidal thoughts. She is doing better and lives with me. She has a small dog that doesn’t get along well with other dogs. My girlfriend and I were supposed to go on a trip at the end of June, than all hell broke loose. Her roommate got arrested and sent to federal prison, sounds like embezzling or something. She can’t afford her rent, and when she finally got in her mailbox she had a lot of disconnect notices. Than her mother in Russia had to go to the hospital. She is really sick. So my girlfriend is moving to Washington DC to be near her son and go to Russia for a month. I offered for her to move in with me but I can’t kick my daughter out. My girlfriend has 3 dogs. My girlfriend wants a plan from me, but I don’t have one. So she told me I’m not in her plans. We broke up.

I always feel that I should do more. She was looking at moving to Washington DC before this honestly – not a great job here, no school, no family , and not many friends. I helped her with bills, cut her grass, paid her rent for July etc, but I’m not rich either. This has stressed me so bad I’m not eating or sleeping. I know I’m selfish…I found a little happiness and it’s gone. But I know she is going through a lot..and her mom is her worst nightmare. So what would people do, stay with her for the month, help her move etc…even though she seems to want to do it on her own, or take care of one’s self and try and recover? I just feel small.
