[quote=Anonymous]My husband suffers from depression. He had episodes in the past but the pandemic has prompted what has been the worst depression of his life. We also have a toddler born during the pandemic. His depression manifests through extreme anger at times - he is almost always highly irritable with me and we had a few big fights where he threw objects at me, called me terrible names and called for divorce. He started taking medication but it's not working. I became structurally upset with him due to his anger and as such, my resentment is obvious and this is leading to a permanent state of tension. Some days he is feeling better, other days, he is always snappish with me and anything can set off a huge fight. He started speaking with a therapist - I was hoping that would help him but since he started therapy he brings up a divorce more frequently b/c I think he obviously vents about me and I am not perfect but he probably takes it ad litteram. He told me he only sees darkness, he no longer feels remorse or love other than for the baby. Intellectually he know he loves me, and he feels bad if he throws stuff at me or calls me names but emotionally he said, he just sees darkness. He is a great father. He is a great guy. I could have never imagined that depression can ruin him and us. Any solutions out there? Please. [/quote]
