How do you keep yourself happy?
I have been with this guy for 2 years. When we first started dating everything was great. We partied together and still did our own thing. I became pregnant. I could not party anymore and became upset with him. I would stay up worrying about him. Being pregnant and only getting 4 hours of sleep was not good for me. I had to take pills to help me sleep. There were times I went without eating because I was so upset. Once he was at the bar and every time I called his cell phone it would pick up. I could hear him in the background picking up on girls. He said he was trying to hook up his friend. Other times I would bust him and his friends doing drugs. I told him I did not want to have that around me and my kids. I think he would do this just so I’d get mad and leave.
Before I had my son he stopped doing drugs. It helped, but then he started drinking more. After I had my son, my boyfriend started going to AA and quit drinking for 4 weeks. I moved in with him because I cannot financially support 3 kids by myself. We fight a lot. It has a lot to do with drinking. I started drinking again too. I think I should start going to AA. I have no other place to go, but it’s hard to let him disrespect me all the time. Doesn’t come home til late, doesn’t tell me where he’s at, comes home wasted. Everyone tells me to act like he’s my roommate.
Since he lost his license I have to pick up his daughter for him. Lately I haven’t because why should I do him a favor if he can’t respect me. I am somewhat jealous of his relationship with his daughter. He spoils her. He will talk to her for hours, but only say one word to his other son who is the same age as his daughter. He calls her honey just like he calls me. I never know who he is talking to. He always thought his kids were perfect, but I have been confronting him with their lies. His children keep saying bad things about my children (she broke my statue on purpose, she hit her with a stick when they were all swinging sticks) He also had a hard time getting over her mom. When I was dating him she would ask him to go out with her. There were times when she came over for a while and he wouldn’t answer his phone. When I came over she called and asked if I was mad. I know she was trying to smooze him. Right now their relationship is poor. She wants more money from him and is trying to take his daughter away because of his drinking.
