My husband has depression, anxiety and PTSD, resulting from a work injury in March 2016. As a carer, I'm now at the point where walking away and kicking him to the curb sounds like a great solution. If I could find someone who'd want him, I'd pay them to take him. I am a person who at time cannot function how much he's worn me down. I'm starting to think he's a jeckyl and hyde. He's abusive with money and has basically made my daughters and I prisoners in our own home, fearing that spending money on going out is going to cause an outburst. Everytime I park, drive talk or the girls do something he's not happy with, it's my fault. As much as I hate to say it, I think we'd be better off if he had died on that day. My life would've been more simpler. I cannot have compassion for a man who constantly nitpicks at my girls, who are virtually prisoners in their bedrooms. One of my girls, can't stand him! If I could just walk away, I would. Being on workers comp. hasn't been easy and we virtually have more debts than before. As much as I hate to say this, at times I totally despise him and think the accident was to teach him a lesson. He's become a selfish human who deserves to be left on his own. At times, I wish I could have him institutionalised.

hi MiaRose I just wanted to drop in and hope that you are doing okay. I am sorry that things are so bad at home especially for your children. My hubby left as he can feel the rage and didn't want to hurt us. He is seeing an Anger management person. I hope that you can move forward in what you want to do. Mish
