Need help

Im so sad. Im (f60) in so much pain - physically and mentally - and i can't stop crying. My husband (m61)is upstairs and can hear me but doesnt care.

I have back problem, fibromyalgia, and chronic pain, (since I was 10, I've had spinal surgery twice, 3rd is due soon as I've already had pre op assessment) he does too plus rheumatoid arthritis and i know he's in pain too but i dont think it's a reason to ignore anybody who is crying and in such distress.

My grandson (4) is profoundly autistic with learning difficulties. I look after him a lot even though im not really capable. Husband doesnt. Im on my own a lot with grandson such a lot and sometimes I can barely push his pushchair my body hurts so much.

Grandson bites me a lot - sensory seeking sometimes, or if hes angry - but nobody seems to care. He bit me earlier on my arm and the pain was awful, husband shouted at me and asked why I let him bite me so much. I dont let him, its not something I allow, he just does it so fast I can't move put of his way quick enough. He's bitten me on my arm, my breast, my knee, and my shoulder all in the last 24 hours. In the past hes bitten my face.

Daughter is single with grandson, and 13 year old adhd daughter. I help her a lot, im the only person who does. Her siblings dont, social services have let her down badly, the local authority says grandson can go to mainstream school even though he's non verbal, smears his own poo everywhere, and is likely to bite other kids, so daughter is very stressed.
