Hi. My boyfriend's mum died at christmas. I took a lot of rubbish from him before as she was dying and he needed support.
Since christmas, I have supported him and taken a lot of rubbish from him as he has been grieving and dealing with his feelings. he has quit work and sometimes ignores me for days. He looked after his mum for most of his life and I appreciate that he has lost a big part of his life.
However, I really don't know what to do for the best. He quit work in March and now seems to be sinking into a deeper depression and there's nothing I can do. He's not sleeping so I asked him to see his doctor but he got angry with me. He's not a bad person and I do love him but how can I help him understand that he needs to move on. My Dad and Grandad died 4 years ago so I am sympathetic to the greiving process.
I want to help him and don't want to appear selfish, but at the same time, I need to look after myself as his moods really upset me.
Any ideas or advice? Please help me
