Thanks to all who took the time to respond.

I am also feeling so disheartened at times.

During the very volatile period, I stayed mainly because I didn't want to get a divorce while he seemed like he could not handle it and would make it very high conflict.

He has started seeing an individual therapist in person which he hasn't done for over 10 years, so I guess that is something.

I am here in case he can get treatment for his mental health issues. When he's not in an episode like this, he can be a more caring and supportive partner. And of course I prefer to see our (young) kids every day.

A lot of his behavior is very bad anxiety. When he's in that place he feels like everyone and everything is against him. He lashes out with anger. I don't know if he knows the difference between his anxiety and himself.

I don't know how much longer I can meet him where he is. Or whether I even want to keep doing that. It feels fruitless sometimes.

Anxiety is an understatement.

Chronic anger, ODD, lashing out, taking everything personal & starting arguments via false accusations… that’s all psychotic.  [/quote]
