Why do I always have to be the strong one?

[blueyedevil]

I always have to stand tall, stay strong, be responsible. Chris gets to just give up, stop working, stop doing EVERYTHING and it's not fair. He withdraws from me and I am left alone IN TEXAS and still have to keep my shit together. I have to go to work, pay bills, take care of the house, make food happen. He gets to be bipolar and feel sorry for himself and THEN get snippy with me when I question him. And I DON'T WANT TO DO THIS FOREVER.

When is it my turn to fall apart?
