writes:My boyfriend and I split up after over a year together. We spent far too much time together and it just got too much for both of u, so we decided it was best to spend some time apart. Now, after 9 months, we have decided to give it another go - we had virtually no contact in the time we had split up.Thing is, it's turning out to be a bad time for me. I'm having alot of problems at home; my Dad remarried and moved to another country very suddenly and has pretty much ditched me and my sister, has very little interest in us after spending years telling us family comes first and we are his priority. It does upset me, but my little sister is taking it very hard, she's only 15 but has fallen in with the wrong crowd and has turned to alcohol and I suspect drugs. Everything came to a head this week and she realised that things have got out of control and is taking all the help on offer, but I'm still feeling upset and stressed by all the recent events.I don't know if it is because of this but I'm finding it hard to be intimate with my boyfriend. I'm constantly tired which doesnt help, I just can't be as close as I was despite being completely besotted with him, my feelings haven;t dimmed at all.I don't understand myself at all, but I do know I just feel lost, upset and perhaps depressed. I don;t know who to talk to or where to go.

Have you tried talking to your boyfriend?You need to be there for your sister, and he should understand that. It sounds like she's accepting help, but its likely to be a long uphill struggle.Talk to your friends, they'll support you :-)Take care! x
