[quote=Anonymous]My husband is so moody and emotional it is exhausting.  The hardest part is that it affects his relationship with our five year old son, who he loves dearly but can’t seem to really connect with.  When left alone, whether for an outing together, playing, or bedtime, there is always the possibility of the interaction ending badly with my husband over reacting and yelling, stomping away, slamming the door, etc.  Tonight bedtime went badly and he has been moping around all night saying how frustrated he is with our son. Yet he does absolutely no reflection on how to improve the relationship.  I have tried to offer gentle advice, but I don’t want to lecture him and he rarely seems to want to hear it, so I tread lightly.

I feel bad for our son that he has a father who is so reactive and emotional over normal five year old behavior. I’m also just tired of living with someone who is so negative and helpless. He had seeds of this when we got married, but over the last few years he has gotten angrier, grumpier and less happy. I want a happy life and more than anything I want my son to live in a happy household.  I try so hard to give him  house full of light and love, but I can’t control my husband’s negative vibe.  Just looking for commiseration, advice or thoughts. [/quote]
