To feel resentful towards DH

DH suffers with PTSD and Depression and is seeking appropriate help. Has been receiving councelling, cbt and therapy and is taking antidepressants. He's been in a slump for a while and has struggled with a lot and i'm so proud of how far that he has come. during the time he was depressed and still up until this point I have taken over a lot. I've always done the majority of housework and childcare but I now do everything, housework and childcare. and had to give in one of my two jobs that I worked one day a week so he would watch the children for one day as opposed to two days a week. I have to pick up some more hours at work to reach 16 hours and will need to put the children in nursery but i know the whole taking and picking up routine will still be down to me ontop of everything else. my husband is now started regaining a social life with his friends which i'm over the moon about i really am and has been out for the past three fridays doing various activities but i haven't been out even to the shops on my own without my two toddlers in 6-8 months and I just feel like i'm so worn down and nobody wants to help me. I feel selfish feeling this way and i don't want him to stop regaining his independance i'd just love someone to ask if i was ok

So, you tried to talk to him, and gently explain how you're feeling, and his reply is to turn it around on you. Yeah, he's taking the piss.

I'd say, if he doesn't start listening to you and working on your marriage, by starting to take more responsibility for the household tasks, and childcare, you need to start thinking about yourself, and the possibility of leaving him. Otherwise, he's going to break you.
