[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]im to the point i cant even talk to her, tell her anything that is remotly funny. she gets all pissed off. been married for 13 years, and if we didnt have kids, i would have been gone a long time ago. having a son with aspergers syndrome doesnt help, when he starts yelling and cussing, she starts right back at him. its almost like watching 2 kids fight, then if i say anything about that, she goes off on me. or her favorite thing, she will say, "you dont love", then go takes an overdose of her anti-depressant pills (but she hasnt tried that for a very long time) but i have decided,next time, she goes to hospital, kids goes to MIL (who has threatened to go to court to take over care) and then i give up on this family and move on as a single guy.... just venting

You have a lot going on here and sound like you are in burnout- you need to work on that and figure out how things can get better.
What kind of therapy is your son receiving?
What kind of parenting therapy are you and your spouse receiving?

Does your DC have an IEP?

You need some sort of outside help not all of the above but at least some of it.  DH and I are parents of two special needs children, one is on the autism spectrum.  His ongoing weekly social skills group that also did a once a month parent group- lead by an experienced professional LCSW is what helped us the most.    Even then it can be extremely frustrating- but if you and your spouse can get some help so that you are acting a a team- that will do wonders.  Don't try to solve all the problems at once- prioritize and work on one or two at a time.

Where do you live?  (general area- but not as general as MD, DC or NOVA).  The Special Needs forum will give you many suggestions as to where to find help and what parenting techniques work best for a child like yours.  [/quote]

Dad's not invested in his marriage or parenting.  We have a special needs kid too.  If anything it makes us stronger and realize how much more we need to support each other and step in for each other when things get hard.  He wants to get rid of his wife and kids.[/quote]
