[quote=Anonymous]Oh man. This is my life right now. It is so hard and I have been on the verge of just leaving many times, yesterday included. I took me a long time to realize his depression was manifesting as anger.

I try hard to remind myself that my husband is dealing with a chronic illness and he is seeking treatment for it. Yesterday before he left for work he yelled at out toddler again. I was livid all day.

But then I realized he is truly not capable of being an engaged parent and partner right now. We he came home last night, I sat down with him and told him I understood that he was barely managing to care for himself right now, and I know he can't be expected to care for anyone else. I also talked to him about our son and told him I know how much he loves him and how he strives to be a good dad. I pointed out to him that DC can't grow up feeling like daddy doesn't like him.

DH agreed with all I had said. We left it that I will give her more time and he will seek even more help.

It is not ideal. It has been a huge struggle, but I love my husband and I know I would regret losing him.

That's my own ramble, but I hope it helps. If for nothing else, at least know that I understand how hard this is. [/quote]
