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

Thank you for your input!
I agree, I shouldn't try to talk to him about that stuff when he's in bad shape. The only reason I had tried talking to him about my parents was because I wanted to tell him I couldn't contact him for a little while, and I didn't know he had gotten blood taken. Yes, the main problem is finding someone else to talk to so I can be in the best shape I can be to take care of him. Your post actually reminded me of another friend I haven't talked to in a while because he lives far away, but I feel comfortable with him, so I think I will talk to him a bit.
I have been planning to see a professional as soon as I get a job and can pay for it myself (which should be within 2 months), so that encourages me too. Thank you very much for your opinion!
