I am much older then you and I have suffered from the time I was about 7 and no one understood. My oldest son still does not understand and I work for him (luckily), but I always have to take a raft of shit from him about how he has to take care of me... fuck him and fuck anyone that doesnt understand.
Its a shame that your girlfriend that should love you and be understanding has to be such an asshole about the whole matter.. I wouldnt wish this disease on anybody but there are alot of people that I would love to see them deal with it for atleast a full week so they might get some understanding...
All I can tell you sweetie is to hang in there and try to be tough.. Its hard but thats what we have to do.. treasure the good moments when they are there cause they can disappear as fast as they appear.. Believe me I know....
I wish you peace young man and strength and courage and a more understanding girlfriend.... peace to you..
Do you contribute any thing the house hold. My check goes into paying the bills now too. It has given me my voice back. How did you live before you moved in with your girl friend? Did you make it alright? That took the fear of being kicked out away from me. I let them know I help too. It may not pay all the bills but it sure helps us live.
Now my x who gave me such a hard time is on ssi and we do the best we can. My daughter kicked me out of her house, but learn her lesson by having to pay child care. She did not see me watching the children and cleaning the house as a contribution. Yes, she had to pay out the nose for that.
Does you girl friend need your check to pay the bills. I would remind her of that and if she threatens to put you out act like it does not bother you one bit. Sometimes calling someones bluff works.
You don't not work because you want to, you don't work because you can't. I hope their is a way for you to find equal footing in your relationship. It is not very nice what she is doing to you. You are not a puppet that can be manipulated by strings. Good luck to you.
It took me awhile but I have found my footing in my relationships. They need me as much as I need them.
Good luck to you.
