Right now I am in the pit of despair. I am overwhelmed by caring for a severely depressed teenager and struggling with my own MH issues. I also have a younger son who needs help understanding what is going on with his brother and just plain needs a mom. My husband lost his job almost a year ago and that put me into the role of primary breadwinner. He is working, but it is not close to what he had before and I am on leave from work while I try to get myself together. The pressure is unbelievable!
He pouts and moans about how I don't give him enough time/attention. I tried to explain to him that right now I have nothing left to give. He is jealous of my T, but doesn't want to talk about the things I talk about with T because it is too upsetting for him.
I love my husband and want us to get through all of this together. I feel so guilty for neglecting my marriage, but I am literally maxed out. I just need him to be strong for a little bit, but he is not interested in doing that...
Help! I guess I just needed to vent
