He has a long history of employment problems, so we do struggle a lot. It's been a year now that this has been going on but I still hold faith that he'll find something suitable for him, because he really isn't cut out for excessively physical jobs, like warehouse jobs. He needs to be like a cashier or something...
He did have a job for 3 months just recently but got terminated for using the bathroom too often. He's diabetic and has IBS to boot. It was a customer service job(which I still work at), and instead of openly saying it was the bathroom breaks, they called it call avoidance instead. At the time, we didn't have a doctor's note to shut them up and they terminated his health insurance before we could go to get one. I personally watched him to make sure he wasn't goofing and he did fine. He did nothing wrong other than going to the bathroom frequently.
I don't know anything about worker's comp or how it works. All I know is Kentucky is a fire at will state. They can fire you with no warning at all, so you may not have a job tomorrow.
My mother's fed up with him, and, in turn for having faith and wanting to stay with him, is punishing me, as well, even though I'm trying my best to stay out of their argument. I don't want to choose a side. For her, it's either I leave him and he goes back to his respective state, or I'm condemned. She's convinced he doesn't want to work and that he's worthless despite having a husband that's about as bright as a brick and also has problems with keeping a job due to anxiety problems and making mistakes. She also does not believe in drawing disability or social security and has said many timesnthatbshe would divorce her husband if he even considered that and would also never accept my fiance if he did.
I just don't know... just last week she was saying how thankful she was for him because he's made me mature so much and how she genuinely likes him and now they're at each other's throats... I just want to live a peaceful life..

He went home on the first day without finishing work is kind of a red flag for me. His employment history is another big red flag. I am very sorry to hear of your situation. It seems like you a intelligent, caring person who is caught up in a very difficult situation. I hope that you, your mother, and your boyfriend come to a positive resolution. Good luck!
