writes:My boyfriend and I have been through alot in our relationship, he's a widower and has a little daughter. I don't know if I should stay with him. He always takes his mother in law and sister in law side (they don't like me...trust me I know they don't)and is always making excuses for their behaviour. I have always been nice to them. And he didn't invite me to his father's birthday dinner last night...I had to invite myself, even though I thought I was so close to his family. He says he loves me very much but I don't trust a future with him. In addition, he has about 4-5 times in our relationship blamed his child's behaviour on me, which I think is unfair. I have felt many times during this 3 year relationship that I am losing my mind and have been extremely depressed many times.

I would tell him how you feel and what changes you would like to see. If he does not agree with you, there is no point leading an unfulfilled life.

If he is treating you this way now and you are feeling terribly depressed, you should get out of this relationship as quickly as possible and never look back. You are being abused.

 I agree with the previous comment. thats just abusive and as much as it may hurt you to take a step away from the realtionship..tough. Try telling him what is going on in you mind or what you feel is happening and if you dont see changes..move on...

 If this is causing you such severe distress that it is leading to extreme depression then you should consider leaving him. If you look at his behaviour toward you and his family attitude to you then project this thought 5,6,7 years into the future do you still think you will have a happy life with a wonderful loving partner who cares about you more than life itself. Find someone who will give you your mind back rather than taking it away from you.
