Working over stressed mom on prescription valium?

Question

I am really over stressed i have four children, a boyfriend that i've been with for six years and he's not ready to get married yet. I work third shift and have severe anxiety some times from the amount of work it takes to work a full time job and take care of a family of six. Is there any one out there that understands my pain.

Answer 1

I understand your stress, your boyfriend may not  be ready to marry yet but is helping with your work load is helping with the kids or giving money.  

Answer 2

Sure, I understand - you chronically over-commit yourself.  Nobody can take on all that responsibility and not buckle under the strain.

Also you are a classic 'doormat', letting your boyfriend have all the benefits of marriage for SIX YEARS but not demanding any commitment.

If you really want to change your situation you need to start asserting yourself, getting your bf to share the responsibility fairly, getting your kids to take on household responsibilities, and carving out a set time each week for yourself.

If you don't believe you can get the kids to do housework, watch the "Supernanny" and you'll see how it's done.
