Any advice? I'll try to keep it succinct.
I've been with my husband for several years. We had our ups and downs but since having DS nearly 4 years ago, things have been very strained.
I have a chronic illness which means that he has to work from home so that on days where our son doesn't have nursery, there is someone here if I need to rest. Everyone hails him as Superdad for doing this but often he's very snappy at our son and the negativity can be stressful for all of us. I can't work due to illness so am financially supported by DH.
My son was recently ill which meant that we've been indoors constantly with neither of them going to work / nursery and none of us got great sleep.
My son spilt some water yesterday. My DH blamed me then threw a table across the room. It triggered my PTSD and it's not the first time he's thrown things in a paddy.
We don't have any family or a support network really so we rarely have time alone apart from evenings once LO is in bed.
We've been to Relate before. He said it didn't help him. We are going to attempt counselling again but part of me has just had enough. He isn't very communicative and emotionally distant.
Do you think it's salvageable through counselling? Thank you for reading.
