Struggling with so much I’m overwhelmed

Hi some time ago I met this person who I fell for it’s all gone pear shaped. She loves me and I love her but she’s got loads going on she might want me back but as I’m feeling so overwhelmed right now I’m struggling with grief I’ve learned to not let it consume me over losing my mum I’m also struggling with my feelings for a person who I still love we’re just friends and a part of me wants to walk away but i can’t we’ve got to much history 17 years of being together. One day i woke up after realising i needed to shock her it kind of feels like it’s backfired on me. I feel torn between two people who I want in my life again. I know I Wouid choose the person I was with up until recently.
I’m also trying to deal with how I found out my 31 year old daughter who has cerebral palsy and has recently been diagnosed with level two autism. My daughter has a mental age of a 10 year old. This is the fault of what her mum and her family did to her. How do I deal with this I can’t take no more

Hi Steven
You’ve got a lot things pulling you in different directions. It’s understandable that everything has knocked you for six. My head’s been all over the place for a long time since my partner passed and I’d recommend talking to your doctor first to see what they can offer. Grief from a passing or relationships is real and its a heavy thing to carry and sharing helps. It’s important to talk. You sound like a supportive Dad and that’ll make a huge difference for your daughter. I found speaking to the Samaritans helped. They’re there to lend an ear and listen. Just to talk to someone was nice. I basically spilled my guts out to them and my tears. I’ve phoned them 3 times because they’re there to just listen which is what I needed.

I’ve phoned them two at least twice it’s so good to talk to someone about this

I just think no amount of talking to someone isn’t going to help
