I am 52 year old injured truck driver with a 32 year old girlfriend of 3 years who has an autistic son. I love my girlfriend and it would break my heart to loose her but I cannot continue like this. I have opened up my house to her and her son and put out a roommate I have had for over 15 years. I have had a failed marriage with three grown boys of my own. I was a little intimidated by my partner in the beginnings because ahe came on so strong. I just moved into a new house in a new town stped all my old behaviors. And promised myself a new beginning.

I was hesitant to even want any relationship after everthing I been through. But I thought long and hard and figured i have one more shot might be my last chance at happiness. In the beginning it was like she waa in a cheating abusive rrelationship and was miserable and looking for a way out. We shared. Intimate moments and I felt like I could trust her For awhile.

Her Words and her actions did not match. I found myself in a situation I wasnt ready for and didnt want to be in. Her at that timee 6year old autiatic son waa like something I have never experienced in my life. He was mean and disreapectdul he had no manners or discipline. She would let him do whatever and spend days on the ipad never checkin his activity. He has an I had to install a lock on my bedroom door just to sleep at night.

Then I found out the childs father is a
That man has not contacteg this kid one time in the three years hes been here. I finally talked my SO into getting a divorce from that maniac and to get her child professional help.

It took awhile but now that I am invested in this things aer changing. For the moat part I can say I am happy I had this experience it has taihjy me alot about who I am and what I really want in life. That I am a kind carining giving responsible person deserving of real love. I got her to get a therapist for herson he is on medication and has learned manners respect he wipes his own but and ties his shoes. He now has little things that he is reponsible for like taling out the trash and making his bed. He feeds his chicken. I taught him how to use utensils and a napkin. Also i let him help me with things like watering the grass and using hand tools.

But our biggest issue is the lack of appreciation and respect I get feom both of them. His smart mouth and fake crying is what he does if I ask him a question. Then his mom abd i fight. I would be as simple as asking him if he picked up after his dog in the yard. He just states at me when his mom wallks in he squeezes his face together forcing tears to come. For no reason. He lies about unnecessary stuff and intentionally disobeys my rules for this house. Like after he got sent home with a note frim the school so I take away his tablet then im picking on him. She make whatever he does ok and its not.

She has not worked or paid rent since they moved in. She is supposed to pay cable and pge but I just got a notice my pge is behind and hasnt been being paid on time. I am on ssdi and low housing .seldom does the dead beat father send child support. . Her son gets ssi same pay i do. I buy groceries gas for the truck (mine) that she uses on a daily basis to carry. Her son back qnd forth to achool. I pay the insurace and upkeep on the vehicle. She gwts qhat her and her aon loke never asking if i want or need anything. I am so over bwing looked over and treated like i am juat here to pay the rent. I go tey to see what thheu aee soing or playing in his room and he slams the door iny face.

I am so frustrated but on the other hand My physical mobility is getting worse. I have osteoarthritis and need help. I dont like being alone. I have PTSD from being raped with intermittent explisive disorder. I have been internalizing stress my blood pressure is thru the roof. I never been on blood pressure. Medicine in my life. I knew I was pushing my limits but how can we come to a place where they appreciate me more stop ********ting them selves and me too. Honestly i need her help and she needs a place to live. But I am slowly killing myself with the constant argueing and lying and no respect. The lies she has told me makes it hard for me to be intimate wirh her. I have not let her touch me but twice in three years. I want to runn away but and i promosed myself I would fight till the end this time. But i am running out of fight my give a damm is. Busted and Im ready just to walk away fro all i have acomplished and say **** it. But theres no where i want to go. Help please i need gudance and suggestion
