Thanks for sharing your struggles, I know it is difficult to go through not only the physical pain, but the emotional pain with a partner can be even tougher. What kind of therapy are you going to? And, what a great idea to offer therapy to your children as well! What are their thoughts about it?
Have you talked with your son's father about your feelings and concerns? What has he said? Has he accompanied you to the doctor's office or otherwise made attempts to learn about fibro and thyroid conditions?
If you feel that you are in an overall healthy relationship, there is a lot of stress put on the partner who is not experiencing the health conditions; they may be in more of a caretaker role. Your therapist can also help you through this, but please feel free to use EmpowHer site as a journal...that can communicate with you!
I hope you continue to write about your journey, both the ups and downs. So many of us have "been there", in either the physical ailments or the relationship troubles. Here are some posts you may find helpful, with people you can connect with:
