I'm sorry that sounds so awful, but its just about the way I feel at the moment. Maybe summer hols taking their toll, but I am very depressed at the state of our 'relationship' at the moment. I spend most of my time shouting and threatening, which I hate. He does nothing I ask,is beginning to tell lies, shouts (prob cos I do) and is generally awful. Sometimes, I am embrassed by him. I know this has everything to do with me, but I am at a loss as to how to put it right or start to.
I have 2 other younger children. I don't work. I know I have some problems of my own which are probably a sort of depression, I don't know. But I want to work on him first. I feel guilty but angry with him at the same time. The hols seem to have brought it all out into focus and I spent much of last week crying about it all. some of it maybe that I don't get much (if any ) break from the 3 of them. My family don't h ave them, my dh works long hours.
I'm sorry - there are probably 100s of threads like this. But where do I start? What things work for anyone who might have had something similar?? sorry again
