He should be comforting you and letting you talk about this and bringing you cups of tea and discussion options and treatment plans, etc.
Well, maybe I'm just making incorrect assumptions here, but from what I've seen on this thread, he doesn't sound like a keeper.

Right now I am inclined to agree with the jerk part because I am upset with him. I live with him in an apartment, but do own a home free and clear I can move back into when I wish. He is being comforting, as much as he knows how to be, but not very patient with the getting used to everything that involves the kiddo. When I get upset over something, it's turned from listening or getting upset to, "Get over it or leave." This is his defense mechanism. I get that, but it sucks. He's afraid I am going to leave, so he figures if he controls it, it won't be so bad. I get it. I just may leave one day and not come back.
