Sometimes I think about leaving my son & husband! I do love my son & husband. But, my son is out of control & my husband is never at home. And when I say something to my husband about my son he thinks I'm being silly. That he's 4 & that's how it goes. My son has complete control of my life. I feel great when I'm at work but as soon as I get home all I want to do is sleep. I don't want to play with my son are even talk to my husband. I just want to go straight to bed & sleep my problems away, I guess.
Am I being selfish are is there something wrong with me?

Your son was not asked to be placed in this world and when you mad that decison to bring him into this world you made the decison to be a parent. And that means there is no you and now you have to focus on that child and the needs of your child.If there is a different problem with your marriage dont pull your son down with it.Yes maybe coming home for work you are sleepy but is there a time or day that you do set aside for your child? And maybe you are not selfish but your statement sounds selfish.There is nothing wrong with you somthing might be wrong with your time management and your focus on who is the parent in the relationship.

You have definite signs of depression. Nothing to be ashamed of, but you need to seek help for yourself either through counseling or self help books. Your son is most likely acting out to try and get your attention and love as children tend to sense stress. Your husband doesnt see the entire issue because to him he is behaving normally. Everyone needs to feel loved including your son and trying a few new things and getting yourself back to normal will go a long way in how your family is.

You probably like going to work because you feel productive and in control. when you go home you feel all your effort amounts to nothing. im not a parent but i have three older sisters with kids and they've all told me there are many times they want to run. i dont think you are a bad person or selfish, just overwhelmed and dont have the tools to get your home under control. There are definitely tools out there to help you and you are not alone in this. Try going to counseling, reading parent books, and getting a support group. Your home can also be a satisfying aspect of the work you put into it. you just have to learn the right tools so your efforts produce positive results. and get a support group for your own emotional wellbeing.

You sound depressed for sure. Myself I could never leave my kids even if I left my wife. My love for them is stronger then anything in the world. I dont understand this feeling of people abandoning their children. After all what else is really that important in life?Your child is your ultimate responsibility.

It's one thing to split from your hubby but please reconnect your son. My son is also 4. Yes at times he is completely out of control. That is what being 4 is all about. You need to step up and be the adult and guide him in life. If you dont who does?
