Am I obsessed with my DD

My dad is 21 and has what I would describe as low level autism. She also has a brain tumour which she has lived with for a year and is on a watch and wait plan. She is unable to work due to fatigue and pain in her head. I am making myself ill worrying that her boyfriend ( who is her world ) is going to break up with her. I can see the signs. He’s become distant and is rarely at our house anymore. I don’t know what to do. I feel sick to the pit of my stomach. I know that I’m obsessing over her and don’t know how to stop. Any help or advice would be so appreciated.

Nothing you have written makes you sound 'obsessed'.

Naturally, with your dd having a brain tumour, you are incredibly worries about her, jujst as any of us would be in your position.

I wouldn’t say you’re obsessed from what you’ve written. You sound like you’re protective of your sick DD which I think is only natural Flowers
