[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I feel your pain. I’m 50 with high schoolers  and in a similar situation of fed husband who takes out work angst on everyone in our family and blames me for not being supportive. I’m also anxious and depressed and not sure what is me vs him. Years of therapy haven’t resolved and I see the effect on kids. Husband and I both suffer from anxiety and depression and don’t handle it well. He was great when on meds but didn’t see it and got off when worried about a side effect that wasn’t really there. People also think I talk rudely to him but it’s also very hard to be subject to the husband’s behavior day in and day out and it takes a toll. I also have a similar career which I struggle to balance and try to let have a backburner to his but then I resent where I’m at. I don’t have solutions but want you to know it’s not only you. I wish we could chat about how to work this and set boundaries. One thing that did help was my husband moving to similar level position in another agency where he’s no longer a strategic leader.

PP just above. I could have written every single word of this except the therapy. Exact same experience. Hugs.[/quote]
