Is this healthy and is it normal?

I've been in a relationship for 5 years. We both have 2 kids from previous relation an 1 together. I've loved this man since we were 13 (25 now) but we never clicked then so we just hung out went to movies really good friends. then finally before my 20 birthday we got serious but he was still seeing his kids mom any anytime I showed dislike i him taking his kid an kids mom to the movies he'd get offensive an not talk to me for a month. finally after getting fed up with him takeing day trips to other cities with her an out to eat all the time I stopped talking to him then one day he calls me up crying because she wont let him have his son cause he wont take her to get her nails done an explains to me he wants to be with me but she gets jealous when hes with me an keeps his son from him. So after getting shared custody an working on us after a year were finally doing good but then my sons dad gets jealous of how much time were spending together an asks to keep my son for a month. Seeing no problem in this I agree.. an much to my dismay my son passes away in a fire at his dads. In emotional shock I block out the world an have been very depressed ever since but a not even a month after my boyfriend leaves for an ex an after finally getting over him after wanting him around for emotional support hes finally gracious enough to grace me with his presents again an ofcourse like an idiot I took him back an now its been 4 years... no indiscretions but still I cant trust him and I'm always scared hes going to leave me an I hate that I cant trust him to go to his mothers (ex lives across the street) or pick up his kid or even go to work an it's driving me insane. I've been on prozac an talk with a therapist to'try an learn to trust' him again but I cant an I think about all the wrong he's done to me an it makes me depressed all over again an I want to leave him but I cant bring myself to do it. why? advice please someone. should I stay or continue working on us for our family/kids?

    I think the reason why you can't leave him right now, is simply because you're used to his emotional support. I was there before and basically wasted a couple of years with someone I didn't trust, just for support.

    The best advice I can give you is to try your hardest and cut him out of your life if you can. You deserve better, and someone you trust. You've been through alot...isn't it time to be at peace with yourself?

    why would he be jealous of you spending time with your own son ? Then your son dies in a fire at his dads .. ?! Does anyone else find this highly suspicious ... !

    You've been through a lot and he left when you needed him there. Time to accept what your mind is telling u and cut this dude. You seem like some one that needs emotional support that is not being provided. Some people work together and some dont.

    Sweetie, it seems to be extremely unhealthy for you. I have also, like Energy, wasted a few years on a relationship that got me nowhere, just for the idea of support - I didn't really have any. I hope you can get out and start over. ;)

    Wow, that sounds really complicated. I have no experience with a relationship that messed up.
