I'm close to breaking point and I feel selfish in how I am feeling but I don't know what to do. My boyfriend has a child with his ex and recently she has been using her against him. He is a fantastic dad and she is the world to him. As a consequence he has gone into a very dark place, he suffers from anxiety which has heightened massively. I normally see him at least 5 times a week and I've not seen him for nearly 3 weeks. I feel like I am bothering him when I contact him but I am filled with worry, I've tried being positive, I know I shouldn't feel hurt but I really don't know what to do. One minute he tells me he doesn't want to push me away and that I'm a positive in his life. The next minute he won't speak to me.

I just wanna share my experience in medical marijuana and it helps me deal with my health conditions. I've been suffering from chronic pain for how many years, but then when I learned that medical marijuana can help and cure sickness such as mine.
