Spouse and child give me anxiety

[crisbal]

I have two kids. One is more rambunctious than the other; very high energy and just doesn't listen to me. My spouse has anger issues and yells a lot. The combination of the wildness of my kid and my spouse yelling is really getting to me, especially since we're all confined at home all day. Kids distance learning and spouse is working from home. We had plans to all go hiking this morning but I had to send them away bc tbh, I just needed a break from them. Spouse is texting me saying they feel resentful to me. I feel the onset of an attack coming on, shortness of breath, chest pain/pressure. Went for a walk with my other kid, which helped some, but the idea of them coming home is stressing me out. Thanks for reading. I just really needed to vent.

Sorry you're going through all this.

Hope things settle down and you can all have some peace this evening.

Sometimes it's best to say nothing.

ty for your response. they came back home and didn't say anything to me at all. now looks like my spouse and I are in the silent treatment cycle - seems to happen once a month.

Been there with the silent treatment it makes me so angry. Sending you peace and calm xo

I have a spouse with anger issues as well. I hide in my room and cry every day. No physical abuse. Let him give you the silent treatment. Carry on with your life. His anger may retract if he doesn’t get reaction from w.
