So my gf is American. She is one of the most kind, genuine, gorgeous, thoughtful, amazing people I could ever meet. Thing is, her visa is running out and she has to take the Citizenship test thingy. Now, the three of us are probably the biggest worriers ever, but I know there's nothing we can do to influence the decision made on whether she stays or whether she has to go home.
My bf is in bits about this. He's completely lost it, and that makes perfect sense, because it IS his wife. I understand him losing it, because I've lost it too, but he doesn't seem to want to listen to reason. He just goes on and on and on about things, and about how he's going to lose everything if she gets sent home. I try to tell him he wont lose everything, things will get sorted out, no one's going to leave him.
I seriously understand why he's so out of it, I do, and I know he's always worried about things but it's just... well it's not helping anything. I'm trying to help him but I don't know how. I know how to kinda temper my worries and rationalise them so I can put them to the back of my mind, but it doesn't seem to work with him. I know she's worried too obviously, but I think we're trying not to talk about it too much, just help her study for the test whenever I can.
I cut myself today. I haven't in around four months and now I have again. I had a terrible dream and woke up crying and shaking, and what with the two of them being so caught up in all her stuff, I don't wanna put all my problems onto them. I have exams coming up that determine whether I'm gonna get into University or not and I'm so worried about them. I know hers is a little different, it's whether she stays here or has to go back to America, but then again if I fail my exams then my life is all messed up and I don't know what I'll do.
I wish I could help them. I wish there was something I could do to distract them or take some of the worry away or make it a little easier. I know that at the moment I'm just floating in the background, I mean, he was with her first and although I know we're all equal, I also know that right now, I'm not quite as important as she is, and I AM ok with that, I just don't want to get so much worse so he feels like he has to deal with me as well as everything else going on right now.
