How to deal with depression

I feel I'm being emotionally abused by my husband. He's sarcastic, denies me access to our checking account, talks down to me all the time. I'm on Lexapro, but still suffering deep depression, mostly about the time he is due to arrive home from work. We've been married 21 years, I'm 52 years old and do not want to start over and rip the family apart. Any suggestions on how to deal with this? I feel I'm no good for anything. He forces me to do things during sex that are disgusting and make me sick to my stomach. If I don't, then I don't love him and he pouts like a 2 year old. Am I going crazy????

Are you afraid that you cannot make it without him? From what you have said here and what your blog entry says I would say you are being extremely emotionally abused. You don't deserve it, no one deserves it. It sounds like you cannot tell him your feelings about this. Do you have family you can turn to/go stay with? You should not and cannot stay and let him do these things to you. You deserve more out of life.

Good luck to you.

You both should see a counsellor who specialises in marriages/couples. Sounds like he has issues of his own that he can't come to terms with so he takes it out on you. I'm really concerned about the sexual things you mentioned. Nobody should be forced to do things they don't want, esp in the bedroom.

    So yesterday my nephew got his braces put on and he spent the night with me. He woke up hurting and after giving him some tylenol I just talked to him a while about funny stuff and I mostly talked about when I was younger in HS and had more friends and all the fun things we did. After he fell asleep I stayed awake wondering what happened to that girl she was happy or at least I had friends to do...

    I gave my 2 week notice last Friday 13th. Now to join you fine people in a life of leisure and nothing else to do but to look out for myself....is it just me or does that sound pretty boring? My goal was to live to retire and I guess having to take early retirement because of health reasons wasn't exactly the way I had planned things. I just can't stay in that building that is reeking mildew...
