My dp has always been a person who seems in a mood to other people but when we met 11yrs ago we got on so well and always have done really, but last year he hit what we thougth was rock bottom - after lots of begging he went to the doc who put him on anti'ds,
There was a definate improvement and things seemed better - not ideal but better, now the last couple of months have seen him slip slowly down again, he has been to the psyc and the gp, he was offered a help group but wouldnt go.
Fast forward 2 months and on saturday he took an overdose, I called 999 and they carted he of to a&e, he was allowed home that night and we are seeing the doc this afternoon,
I really hope he gets some help, but how does anyone cope, I feel like I have another child - a severly disabled one at that, one who cant do anything for himself, I am starting to resent him, I really dont want to feel like this - I feel I should be supporting him, but with a toddler and a dd who I home ed, looking after him him as well is a real burden I dont get 5mins to myself, he is clingy and needy and they are all things I find a real strain when I already have enough to deal with - also I am working pt so we have some money coming in
Any suggestions greatly appreciated, I cant leave because he would surely overdose again and I would always have that on my mindm that it was my fault for not being there
