Wow -- sounds like you have ALOT going on in your family. But right now isn't the best time to try to get support from your boyfriend. He's busy trying to heal -- he's got too much going on himself right now.

Do you have a close friend that you could talk to, besides him? Perhaps just getting some of this off your chest with someone would help.

But it really sounds to me like you need some therapy. Whether or not your parents would see it that way is another thing -- but try to explain to them that you're depressed and have some things that are bothering you (i.e. the sexual abuse!!) and you need to speak to a professional.

By talking to a therapist, you can give your boyfriend a break -- he probably doesn't "get it" anyway. I'm sure it would be helpful to you. I wish you the very best -- God bless. Hugs, Lee
