[QUOTE="NicoleC1971, post: 2155540, member: 365308"] Hi. I hope you got today sorted out and feel able to leave your child? Feeling for you in this situation and as a type 1 I am sympathetic to your husband. However I think some tough love is called for because he is struggling and taking his family down with him. When I got depressed a while ago my husband told me to do something about it and then offered to come to the GP with me even though I did not feel that anything could be done and nobody understood etc. I think just that nudge along with support helped me to take further small steps to help myself. As others have pointed out type 1 is a demanding condition which can result in guilt at lack of control which can then easily turn into depression and anger but the bottom line is that you can't help him before he takes the first step. Do you have any family or friends who can support you through this? I do think you need to have a conversation where you are a little tougher but understand that being naturally sympathetic and not diabetic yourself you may find this difficult. However he is being passive/aggressive by offering to move out and putting it back onto you. [/QUOTE]
