[quote=Anonymous]Dear Op, Sounds like you and your husband have lots of stressors in your life, including financial with medical debt and now another job loss. It really is a full time job for him to look for a job. He can’t do that if he is taking care of kids this young. Please remember your parents are only seeing this from how can we help our child / grandchildren and may be very skewed from what is truly going on. You need to work with your husband in a safe setting - such as counseling - to address the issues of alcohol use, potential ADHD, and financial stress and it’s effect on your mattiage. Clinical Psycologist positions are very competitive - so finding one in training with interest in family dynamics/ couple counseling may be a good idea.  Slow down. Outline a plan with your husband on getting a real diagnosis, if there is one, and make each decision thoughtfully. If he is not an alcoholic he should be willing to stop drinking. Find the CAGE questionnaire online to help to if he fits the profile of an alcoholic. Discuss with your parents what help they are willing to provide if you want to see if you and your husband can pull through this. Anticipate that it takes at least a year to see if you can begin to resolve many these problems. See what absolutes you must have from your husband - and he from you to pursue this approach. Best of luck to you..[/quote]
