What do you do when your hubby is so depressed and out of energy that he falls apart? What do you do when he doesn't talk, not even replies to your questions? He only feel like lying down...

Now to the roughest part... I really don't like writing about this but I feel that I need to get it off of my chest. Boy- this is hard! Ok... here we go...
Hubby's having problems dealing with our son's outbursts and violent behaviour. Of course I don't find it being like a walk in the park either... but I find a way to control myself... which my hubby doesn't anymore... The thing is he's hit our son maybe 4 times... Our son didn't get hurt physically but of course it hurt him emotionaly... especially since he's a special needs child. Hubby's also been throwing stuff around a couple of times... to then also kick on the items.
We asked for help... but nothing happens... I have to deal on my own right now. It's so rough seeing your partner in tears crying heavily... finding him on the bed or the couch a lot... or see his face all wrinkled in despair... I try to reach out. Now he's home from work, just can't work. He's planning on working half time... but I honestly don't know if he can.
Now to the worst thing that's happened that really made me so scared... the day before yesterday... our son was kicking at hubby and he just couldn't take it... I heard a scream... hubby had bitten our son.

Yesterday our son got a hold of two knives and ran away with them. Hubby had put them in the wrong place... They should be in this certain place that our son can't reach and doesn't know about. I was so afraid! Not easy to take a knife from someone in that state. Anyway... I managed

Sigh...
I don't know what to do! I love my family! This is just too much!
School starts again next week... which will be causing our son a lot of anxiety. Our daughter starts first grade. They need their parents.

I so wish I could help my hubby to feel better... He's really in a bad state.
I took his hand in mine yesterday... and there was hardly any response at all... He's empty... He saw a psychiatrist for the first time last week, but when he tried to call her today she's on vacation... Has to call again tomorrow to get a hold of some other doc.

I feel so alone... scared about today and the future... confused... frustrated... tired...
