[quote=Anonymous]NP here.  No answers, just commiseration, I'm afraid.

My husband is ADHD-inattentive although he refuses to get officially diagnosed.  He gets anxious and depressed easily because of the ADHD.  If enough external forces are at work – job is stressful, problems with kids keep coming up, financial stressors, extended family issues – he gets emotionally very brittle and can blow up at the drop of a hat.  It is like being with a man-child.

When we were dating, engaged, first married and no kids, he had plenty of outlets to make sure he didn't get to that level of stress.  Now we have three kids, 13, 9, and 4.  All three are currently having some kind of issue, there is not much "me" time for either of us, much less "us" time.  But I still don't see the need for the yelling and the screaming – which he even knows is wrong while he is doing it, but he can't control himself.  What really takes the cake is that my 13 year old has gotten help for her anxiety, and he refuses to.  It is getting harder and harder to explain to her why she could make that intuitive leap and he can't.

I borderline loathe him at this point.[/quote]
