[QUOTE="trinityroyal, post: 311913, member: 3907"] Beth, I'm so sorry that things are in chaos like that. First off, many hugs. Gentle ones, hard squeezes, whatever you need. I agree with the advice about getting a therapist for yourself. You need a safe place to talk about everything that's going on with you, where you can get nurtured. Also, have you thought about going on strike? Just stop. Stop interacting with those who can't be pleasant to you, whether it's your H or your difficult child or anyone else. Stop doing housework for others who don't appreciate it. Clean only what you need to clean in order to maintain your sanity. Start doing something just for you that you enjoy. If your H isn't willing to work with you, then work around him. Find things that make you happy without reference to him. He can either participate with you, or step out of the way. On another post (StepTo2's Columbus Day one, I think), Marg gave some great advice on dealing with passive aggressive behaviour. I wonder if it would work when dealing with your H. Just tossing out random thoughts, in the hope that something in here will help the situation. Trinity [/QUOTE]
