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.

    (I didn't know where else to ask, this felt like the best group to.)Is it common to get your period only every other month instead of every month?  I've had a normal period schedule until May 2020 where my period skipped a month.  I wasn't too worried, I had read that it was completely normal to skip a month.  In June I got my period for four days.  Then this month, July, I haven't gotten it...
