I have Borderline Personality Disorder, until recently, my partner was my carer, making sure I got up, dressed and showered, ate and drank regularly when I was down and helped me manage my emotions. He would also escort me to unfamiliar places and help me go shopping or out for a coffee.
Over the past 5 years, he's suffered from crippling muscoskeletal pain in his left knee and hip. He is in constant pain which means he struggles to get around the house, his GP can't prescribe any stronger pain relief than he is on already. He's worked 2 days in the past 2 months because he works in a huge building and physically can't walk from his disabled space to his desk.
I'm very worried about the future. We have two teenage sons who help where they can, one is in college full time, the other has just left college after just 3 months and is currently NEET. If OH looses his job, we won't be able to afford the mortgage and our family also consists of 2 dogs who are just as important to me as the children....
