He's been through alot with his family and when he was 15 he left his home from his mum because she was violent and always drinking. He didn't have anywhere to go so after he had stopped with his dad for abit (his dad lives ages away) he moved in with me. My mum made sure that we didn't share a bed and everything which we both respect and understand.Anyway...over the past year and a half his mum moved away and his older brother moved into his mums house, so my boyfriend moved back in and they both looked after his younger brother. I'd stay over most nights and help look after his little brother, but if I'm not staying there,I go to his house on the way to college, do his packed lunch and walk him to school and then pick him up on my way back. It was stressful to begin with because me and my boyfriend never got any time to ourselves but we're used to it now and I like how things are. I know it's not really ideal to be looking after his brother but it's nice and least he's being looked after.Recently my boyfriends mum got back in touch saying that she was moving back and she's going to look after his little brother again and I can't help but feel gutted and like she's taking him from me. I know he's not even proper family but that's what I see him as. She hasn't been there for him when he was poorly in the night, and when he needed help with his homework. She wasn't there when he was asking where his mum had gone and we had to sit and talk to him about stuff. I know it shouldn't be anything to do with me but I feel sick the thought of her taking him. It is obviously going to put a strain on me and my boyfriends relationship but there isn't anything I can do. Am I wrong to feel this way? x
