Well it sounds like there are many issues-within-issues, and one of your best bets would be to communicate with others to find some kind of support. This is a good place to start, as there are a wide range of posters. Many supportive people, many with first-hand professional knowledge on many topics. But, just to have someone *acknowledge* your pain is relief in itself, and I believe you can find that here.
The further action is going to have to be taken by you, but you may feel more confident in whatever choices you make, and maybe a bit better prepared for what life has to throw at you.
Now, does your partner suffer from some kind of illness, and is that tied in with these issues? If so, it is a bit of a pattern I recognize, and I am sure others do to. If you could elaborate a bit more, maybe we could talk and help a bit more.
Please keep posting.
Best,
Jay
