My Husband has been battling depression and alcohol dependency for months, he has a history of bipolar and ADHD.&nbsp;<BR />He has been out of work for 2 months but looking after our autistic son who was kicked out of daycare. He has moved our house during this time with not much help. We have no village.&nbsp;<BR />we have a 11yo, 3yo and 21m old. The two little ones are destroying us. My husband has anxiety about taking them out, so we are stuck home a lot and every time we take them out it’s a disaster.</P><P>ive tried everything I have to support him…. I’ve tried getting him help, forgiven for alot of behaviour that has hurt me emotionally. I’ve paid for him to get away to relax twice in 3 months but nothing works… he still is burnt out, short, negative and seeps through the whole family, there is only so much I can take.&nbsp;<BR />I have thought about us renting 2 different houses for a year but staying together. That way we both get breaks away from the kids and can choose when we want to see eachother and make our interactions meaningful.
