I am a mom of three and I battle PTSD everyday. My boyfriend is very emotionally abusive and can not understand what I am going through. On a daily basis he tells me I am worthless, lazy, bad mother. This makes everything worse for me I completely shut down emotionally. I am on disability so my children and I rely on him financially because of this I have to beg him for money for necessities, and I am terrified to ask him because I know asking for money will start him on the course of belittling me. He has thrown me out of the house and I was homeless for about a week. I begged him to let me back in the house because I have no where to go. I promised him that I would be better at cleaning the house, and I would not ask for money. The problem is my PTSD is worse now, I feel stuck and in constant fear of being homeless. He says that I would never get custody of my youngest child (he is the biological father) because I have mental issues. This terrifies me and makes me feel like I have no options. I can't function I can't deal with my past trauma and the current abuse. I use t.v. as a way to numb myself but it consumes me. How can I get him to understand how ill I am? I don't know how to make him believe me, to stop putting me down or threatening to take my son away from me, or threatening to throw me out because I did't fold the clothes. Please help
