[QUOTE="bby31288, post: 566152, member: 182"] AW. Hugs to you! Tv shows = not real life. How long have you been married? I'm going to go with the fact that your husband will not go to counseling. Or probably allow you too. You two need a break. So you can talk. Is there any way you can get someone to watch your kids even for an hour? Have you had check up with your own doctor lately to discuss your anxiety? You cannot control DHs PTSD but get help for you. When your feeling better you might be able to help him more. Start a journal. Write down your feelings. Get it out. Brainstorm on things you can do for you and the kids. If he sees positive changes in you he might decide to want help for him. As far as him controlling the food shopping. What if you wanted something like shampoo and you give him a coupon. Maybe if it goes on sale with a coupon he will buy it. Here my husband does the food shopping. Whatever he buys is fine. My kids are grown now and work. If they want special shampoo they buy it themselves. But I'm a lucky one. My husband is very caring and hugs me multiple times a day. We try to be equal on bills and stuff and if I need to be heard I speak up. I guess what I'm saying is work on you. Be the best you for the kids. Hopefully your husband will follow. [/QUOTE]
