I'm so tired of this battle. Husband gets a big project at work and then I am completely ignored and totally forgotten. He will work 12-14 hour days and never send a text I'm left with 2 kids that I homeschool and a baby. Also, I'm a tax accountant and it is tax season. He always gets worse at tax season. And the cherry on top is now that I am sick he is really abrasive and unapproachable. When he is home he complains about everything. I'm tired. Tired just in general and tired of this game. Tired of walking on eggshells and tired of waiting for the perfect moment when he is happy to approach him. I'm tired of being ignored and pushed to the side. I'm tired!

It's difficult to be focused and productive and take care of a family, work, and even hope for any happiness when you are so exhausted. I know that I am both physically and mentally exhausted from the drama and the upset of dealing with my ADHD spouse. I find many things from which I used to derive joy just too much bother right now, but I strive to be kinder to myself because I need it!
Try to find some time each day for yourself- even if it's only 15 minutes (more would be better). Use that time to deep breathe and make yourself a cup of tea in a pretty teacup, or go for a short walk, do yoga, meditate- anything that will provide even a short relaxation for you. And as best you can, get enough sleep at night. Tiredness always makes dealing with stress more difficult to bear.
Hang in there for your kids and for yourself- you deserve consideration every single day.
