My situation may not be as bad as other stories that i have read here, but it is stressful and I just need this moment to vent. I'm 25 years old and I met my current boyfriend 3 1/2 years ago. This is my first relationship and two months after I met him, i got pregnant. I love my son, but i'm sad that my boyfriend and I haven't had hardly any time to go out and be a young fun couple. I would have loved to have been able to travel with him and had more time to go out on dates and stuff. What really worries me is that my boyfriend has asthma, and it's gotten worse over the years. We are trying to get insurance but the process is taking a really long time and i've been paying for all of his medication (inhalers) which don't help him as much as they used to. So he goes through those a lot quicker. He breathes much better with prednisone (steroids) but that isn't good for his health and im very concerned with how it's affecting him. His health has been a major concern for me since the beginning. I try to stay positive but he is so negative sometimes; saying he's going to die all the time. It really brings me down. I'm here typing this at 1:30 a.m. because he was coughing throughout the night and now i'm wide awake. I try hard to be supportive and reassuring but there are moments like these where i can't help but think 'Why isn't there a damn cure?' Why did my first boyfriend have to have such bad health issues?' (he's been through a lot of stuff minus the asthma). My life has just changed drastically in a short period of time and i think it's really affected me. I'm not the same person i was four years ago, it's like i've lost myself. I feel like an old woman sometimes instead of twenty five and i wasn't prepared to be a mom or a caretaker at this age. How do you deal with it? I want to remain faithful and positive it's just really hard sometimes.
