I have posted before about DP' s depression. He went to doctor who upped his medication and signed him off work. He has also been to group sessions about dealing with stress. He is quite happy being off work and,watching television all day. He has not gone out and taken exercise as advised by GP and after successfully cutting down his drinking ( at least a bottle of wine night but often much more) he is drinking again.He is due to return to work next week. We cannot afford for him to be out of work as we still have a teenage son at home and a mortgage. I had to support the family when he lost his job a few years ago and was out of work for a year so we have no savings.
We were visiting relatives last week and they asked if his job was making him depressed (low paid and fairly monotonous but not physical). He blurted out "no she is!" meaning me. I was very shocked as was his sister as I have been very supportive. I have tried really hard not to put pressure on him and to ignore the moods and nasty comments he makes to me and DS but I feel like walking out. Any advice anybody? Sorry for long post.
