[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 387675, member: 1233"] Many of us have some difficult child traits or characteristics. I think there are a whole lot of adults in the world who would have an autistic spectrum diagnosis, adhd diagnosis, or other diagnosis if htey were children now. I know I would have an Aspie diagnosis if I had been evaluated as a child. Back when we were kids no one got evaluated or diagnosis'd unless they were super severely disordered. We got swats or detention, sent to bed with-o dinner, and told that we WOULD comply - and mostly we did because to some extent we feared our parents wrath. Your husband may have some problem that hasn't been diagnosis'd. It could be that he is as overwhelmed as you are and has no way to cope so when he is home all day on a day off he just cannot cope and gets grumpy. it would be unlikely that both of you did not have some degree of depression. You have a child in the home who takes a HUGE toll on the family and he has an ex that he has to negotiate with as they raise their kids. It is a whole lot to handle and when he goes to work he can put it out of his mind. The question now isn't if he is or isn't a difficult child. It is how the 2 of you will navigate through these challenges. [/QUOTE]
