dont know why im posting or what to say,so im just going to waffle,i nearly told dh to f off somewhere else.in car earlier he got roadrage slammed on accelerated and then break-i almost banged head but what worried me more was my 3 children sat in back wondering why daddys in mood ,then i was told to f off when i shouted at him.not nice at all for children-i know i shouldnt have shouted but...then didnt speak all way home.he keeps shouting at me and picking arguements for no reason.weve had lots going on lately-his mum had stroke and has been in and out of places,he had accident at work and hurt his hand but has to work as self employed.and i had doctors deciding whether or not i can have another baby.its been hard but its not my fault or childrens fault.i dont know what to do.

Sounds like dh is under enormous pressure, not that it excuses his behaviour. If he doesn't have insurance against sickness then maybe he should think about getting some, when his hand is better. In the meantime, he is a danger to himself behind the wheel, as well as to any passengers and other road users. I wouldn't let him drive the children at all at the moment if you can avoid it.

In the meantime you do have a problem. Could you try speaking to your GP?

Well, give him something to calm him down in the short term. Perhaps also do tests to check out cause of these sudden mood swings. Maybe arrange counselling. Most importantly, give him some one other than you to discuss things with, some one outside the situation, outside the family. Good luck.

Agree with elastic woman. And maybe keep notes - seriously, as soon as something's happened, write it all down - just a dry factual account with each thing in sequence. Then show him when he's calmer and maybe he'll see he has a problem.

Sounds like you're making some progress KP. Chance of resolving this if you follow through.
