Hi There…
to wind it up I don’t know what to do. My Husband has been battling depression and alcohol dependency for months, he has a history of bipolar and ADHD.
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.
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.
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.
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. Not eggshells, tolerating,and negative
