Do you 'enjoy' spending time with your kids?
- Yes, most of the time we really have fun together
- Sometimes it's fun, sometimes it's really dull and aggravating
- Honestly most of the time it's not fun at all, but it's not supposed to be fun
- I really don't enjoy it at all, and wish I could spend less time with them

I am okay about my marriage when I'm on antidepressants but miserable when I'm off them. DH has some combo of ADD and aspergers that got much worse with age and responsibilities. I'm staying in the marriage for the kids and because it would be horrible financially for DCs if we split. DH is a good father & we do well as loving parents. No fights, kids happy, just me so miserable inside.

[ Reply | More ]OR: I absolutely am. Life is way too short for this kind of wallowing and self-induced misery. Everything can change in a moment -- I force myself to embrace the positive that every day brings me, rather than wallow in self-pity and complaints about other people or their behavior.
[ Reply | More ]OP: I knew I'd get flamed when I wrote this. And I know what it sounds like so I expect it. I do suck it up IRL. I don't complain to a soul. Just every now and then I just need to vent anonymously. It helps to admit it somewhere & then I go on with life. I would like to know what OR thinks is the grown up choice--not being snarky. I made a mistake in my marriage but I have been a good parent. I am reluctant to put my DCs in financially bad situation. Would she say life is short & leave & be responsible for your happiness? Or is it stay with DH & see the good points? (The latter I have tried to do for years & it just will not work for me tho I am good at faking it on the outside)

The logical answer to the problem you've set up for yourself is to keep taking the antidepressants.
