High Anxiety

goalie18's picture

My boyfriend and I have been dating for 4.5 years and living together 1.5 years. He has 2 kids a 15 girl with Down Syndrome and a 12 yr boy with opposition defiance behavior and major germophiba. That is enough for a deal beaker for anyone but I love him as he understands for the most part my mental/emotional issues I have. That however is becoming a problem. His son, who they both live with us about 50%, is driving me NUTS!! If he was my kid he would have been on medication and hospitalized a long time ago. I say as I have been hospitalized and know what a huge help it has been for me. But the kid will spend an HOUR in the bathroom EVERYNIGHT. I eat dinner in five mins and then leave so he will eat and then I don't have to listen him complain about what is for dinner. I don't make eye contact with him and am hardly in the same room as he is. I just don't know what to do anymore. I keep from crying around my boyfriend but it is killing me. I will lay in bed and just feel my hands shaking with anxiety. I am looking for another job in the evening so I wont be around him that much anymore.
