Something I have come to realize is that people who need a lot of help, but won't help themselves, just seem to take and take and take. We can't change them, they drain us, they cause drama, and seriously- is this a relationship you want your kids to watch and learn from?
Your boyfriend just sounds like a lot of work.
Sorry to be so blunt- but why oh why waste your effort? If you walkaway, he will come after you. But when he has you he will walk away again. ARGH!
