Last yr i posted on here about being at a crossroads with a distant DH and ill parents and 2 dcs taking exams.After 28 yrs together i didnt know what to do for the best.I decided staying put was for the best.
Over the winter My dfs cancer returned and spread and my dh did step up and was supportive.We are awaiting scan results to see if the chemo has worked on his aggressive cancer( i hope so but wont be surprised if it hasnt).I also doubled my hrs to pretty much full time getting home past midnight.DH and DD took on more chores and he was more considerate.

During this time he had suffered ED which he was told was his age.I googled it and discovered his tablets that make him less angry were possibly the cause.The gp prescribed them as it is common to be angry and depressed after a heart attack.DH just stopped taking them and hey presto no more viagra.
Last weekend hey was a bit moody and told me angrily to gt out the f ing way he would get the hash browns out of the freezer!!
I popped to the shops to buy mothers day flowers and got him some chocs.
I gave them to him and said share these with the dcs.Next thing they ran upstairs as he is shouting at them.
I go down and ask what is the problem i said they could have a couple?
He chucks them all ovr the table and says just have them then!! wt hec atmosphere from me trying to be nice.
This weekend i was off which is a rare thing and he had a blow up unexpectedly over something trivial.
I am left feeling like someone has hit me i dont answer back and make things worse.I have pointed out how these outbursts make me feel upset and spoil my day.How would you handle the stress when i already have family health worries as i cant spend anymore time at work which is a pressurred fast pace job.Im guessing he needs to go back to the gp ? Any ideas.Thanks in advance.

Agreed and i have saved for any future change of circumstance however not enough for a new home.I guess lots of parents have to do their best in difficult situations with the budget/income they have.

UPDATE DH went to the docs who are giving him councelling for the mood swings and a hearing test as he has the tv on so loud i watch tv upstairs and he is getting tested for rhumatism as he has had a bad knee for weeks.
Dads cancer has spread and is in his bones too which is what i suspected.AND we have a long weekend in wales our 1st trip alone in 19 years so thank you all for the advice i think he may have seen the thread or just bucked his ideas up x
