I suffer depression and severe anxiety periodically and can't be easy to live with. However, my wife, who has always been unreasonable and nagging is now totally consumed by hatred. She shouts non-stop at me and the kids and her accusations that I do nothing in the home are sheer nonsense as after a full days work I do almost everything and have very little time to myself. That's OK but not when I'm accused of doing nothing. She snatches the phone off me and hangs up quite regularly, turns off the TV or radio if I have them on and spends most of her time trying to humiliate and hurt me and the kids. I suggest she needs some help but then the anger turns to rage. Is she suffering from something? How can I help her? I know it's difficult when you haven't heard her side of the argument. However, I've run out of options. I can't leave her as she needs help and I don't want to leave her to humiliate and shout at the kids. And she certainly won't let me have them.
Thanks for reading this.
