Constantly on edge

My DH shouts when he can't find things. He blames me instantly. He is WFH and hardly ever goes out. He is stressed with the situation with next door. We have damp due to next doors leaking roof. It's been endless phone calls to tradesmen, insurers, solicitors etc. He has no time for me or our son. If we are talking when he is on the phone, he snaps "shut up" and today he said "will you both shut the hell up". He's not setting a good example to our teenage son. He has several health issues and is constantly complaining about the GP etc.
I feel like I exist just to help them both constantly. My one pleasure is helping my elderly mum. She is a joy to be with.
My brother took us away for a 2 day city break last February and that's all the holiday our son has ever had (he is nearly 15). He always refused holidays as he didn't want to be far from his elderly parents (who were in good health until there mid 80's).
I can't relax because he is at home all the time. My evenings are spent sat in the kitchen. Our son chats to friends on his playstation or has sport activities.

How can I reduce my anxiety?
