DH is still trying to come to grips with things, meds IMO are not working for his depression. So he has been hostile and inappropriately nasty to everyone today. So even though I'm up to my eyeballs in sorting and working on paperwork for a number of things, I'm dealing with both boys. DS2 is currently in his room in meltdown because I won't let him play with my books (as opposed to children's books).
DH is downstairs ignoring it all. I suppose in a way at least if he is ignoring it, at least he's not shouting. But I've spent the last 2 hours dealing with DS2, instead of getting my paperwork done. So now I'll have to spend this evening ironing for next week's school, finishing paperwork, after getting supper coordinated and getting both boys to bed (because DH again is too stroppy to properly deal with boys).
I could just scream. And if I hear one more time "you just don't understand" I may just scream anyway. What I understand is that he can control things (mostly) when we're out in public or when MIL is here, but not with us, his family, his CHILDREN. I am fast reaching the end of my patience with this.
DS2 cannot cope with all the shouting and stress. So he's more upset and prone to meltdown. And then DH goes off about it. It's making me more and more angry at DH that he can't see what he's doing to everyone around him. Or doesn't want to see, because that would be a step towards admitting that he's being awful.
