Living with my husband has not been easy. Right now he is struggling a lot at work, so I know he needs me to be his safe place when he comes home, but I just get so mad! He is normally finished work at 3:30pm and tonight didn't get home until 7:30pm because his OCD took over and he couldn't let go of something at work. We have 2 very hyper-active demanding and difficult children and he knows how hard they are to deal with and knows I need his help. I am positive that our children have the same thing as him...but they are too young to be diagnosed.
I run a home daycare out of our home, so I have 5 children here during the day and my day starts at 7am. I feel like I am working a 12-13 hour day dealing with demanding children and I need a mental break too.
I am just at my wits end with it and feel so lost. I am stressed out too, I have my own health and issues that need tending to, but I feel like most of my needs aren't met because his overshadow everything in our lives. I've talked to him about it over and over for years, but it's like talking to a wall. Nothing changes. His OCD/ADHD overpowers. I feel like it's ruining our marriage and it's affecting our children. (They didn't see him at all today)
He has a psychiatrist who he sees regularily, a psychologist and we have also been in marriage counseling since April. He is on meds. I feel like things are getting worse, not better :(
Just wanted a place to vent and maybe see there are others out there like me.
