Can anyone help?! I have a DH with depression and have 2 DS - we are supposed to be moving in a few months to a new city but I feel like we will take our problems with us and maybe I should move further with the DSs to where my family and friends are.
DH is really quite selfish and can be emotionally manipulative as well as the fact that he works long hours and weekends have become a nightmare as he won't engage with the kids for more than a few minutes (if that) and there is always shouting. He can't tolerate them at all! They are a handful (very active and typical 'boys' iykwim). I am walking on eggshells and have had enough.
I'm worried if we move together and I say he has to have counselling etc (and me too I think!) that it will all peter out and we will be unhappy in a new place with no family, but I am also worried I haven't been forceful enough in asking him to get help and therefore haven't given him a chance to change!
Please can anyone who has experienced this help? I have heard the LTB type stuff but nobody talks about this IRL so I would appreciate similar situation advice!
