OH & I have been a bit rocky recently, lots of it brought on (in my opinion) by his quite severe depression (for which he takes mood stabilisers & sees psychotherapist weekly.) His depression had been caused by his unloving parents / unpleasant childhood.
I am suffering from mild depression too, I'm on ADs. Mine is mostly the stress if having a depressed, bad tempered partner, feeling isolated, unloved, shut out, rejected etc.
Anyway, last night, I was really down, OH was running on his treadmill (in the house).
I was 'told off' a couple of weeks ago because when I went in a few timed (separate runs) to check when he'd be finished so I knew what time to prepare tea for, he said I was rushing him & making him feel like he had to stop early. I wasn't!
So last night, he was probably 20 mins from the end of his run, had been running since he came in from work, I got in with DS, thought the dog could do with a quick 10 min ball chase. So I told DS (who is a sensible 9 yr old) that I was taking dog out, and that if he needed anything urgent (illness etc.) his dad was downstairs, but not to disturb him otherwise. He was happy with this, playing on his Xbox.
Tonight, OH says "i was shocked what happened with DS last night" - I had no idea what he was talking about. He said that he didn't know he was the responsible adult (& basically implied I was a bad / irresponsible mother)
was I in the wrong?
it seems I usually am at the moment...
