I don't know which way to turn
Hello,
I don't know what to do anymore.
I feel like my partner isn't supporting me emotionally but still wants to be intimate and physical. I can't do that if I don't feel emotionally fulfilled too.
When I bring it up, it turns into a "then leave" situation. Like last night, I said "I'm tired of feeling like I'm a disappointment and problem to you." and the instant response was "then leave. You know where the door is."
I don't know how to deal with that and I don't know if I want to leave and even if I did, the family I've created is the only family and support I have. I have zero friends and such a low self esteem it's actually quite pathetic.
Just lost and don't know anymore...

It is hard when we have connection like family and friends intertwined in just the relationship. That does not mean you should be treated badly,
Maybe your partner say "ok leave" not meaning it but knows you will not do it and they do not need to change or respect your feelings. some partners IF it works for them they think it is all good ... they do not see or care it is NOT working for you.
I had this happen to me so i made change in myself improved my self esteem found new friends and treated partner like a room mate and was always too "busy " for physical then they were trying everything they could think of to connect....
