i'm loosing myself in all the turmoil. wife with BPD(u). son with bi-polar and very paranoid. our daughter who has temper problems moved in recently with her boy friend who i believe is narcissism. i'm a disabled vet and the only one with a job in a small house where there is no escape from the constant bickering and complaints. poor, hungry, tired and expected to do everything. wife has retired (can't cope with the world). all i do is work and have nothing to show for it. no home of my own. every time i do something for myself it comes at a cost and things are slowly going to the place it was before. you see we recently moved and are trying to make a place for us and it's all too slow. i am loosing my identity. i have recently requested to see a mental help therapist. i don't know what to do. i have been diagnosed with acute stress disorder ad depression because of my circumstances. i hate to be a burden to you all. i'm slipping into the quicksand of depression ad if it weren't for my belief in God i don't know if i'd be around now. i hate to need but i do.

Don't apologize!

We get it it!   

Ask for all the help you need! 

For goodness sake, these relationships are immensely tuff!

I'm glad you are going to talk with a mental health professional.
