I feel your pain. You are not alone. I am caring for my mother and her 3 other adult children aren’t even visiting, let alone helping! I don’t get how some people can be like this!

I am trying hard to find time for myself and to be me. Can you get yourself out of the house for the day and have some time doing something for yourself? Is there any charity or organisation you can speak to to offer some respite? 

Thank you for replying Jane.  
I have tried having time but the situation with his children is in my head all the time and I can’t stop thinking about it.  
They are not my children but it hurts me that my partner and his children all seem to think everything is acceptable when it’s not.  
we have had separate counselling but he won’t do the joint session.

i am sick of the excuses that are made and how cruel it is to watch an older lady wear herself out with no respect in return. 

my feelings are becoming more and more heightened every day and I don’t know what to do. 

They are taking complete advantage and are selfish, false and manipulative. 

my self esteem and mental health are taking a complete battering. 
I am sorry to hear that your siblings are not supporting.  

Have you spoken to his children and told them how you feel? 
You could always speak to a doctor for yourself too. I don’t always believe that pills are the answer, but if you’ve exhausted all other avenues they may be able to help you with something to take the edge off.

Life is incredibly tough as it is and no one should have to go it alone like you are. 
I hope others on here may have some suggestions on charities or organisations that can help you.
