Miserable

I'm miserable. I've been in therapy for ever trying to work on myself so I can manage this so called life.
In the meantime, my husband doesn't buy into "psych babble bullshit" as he says and doesn't feel the need to pay someone to talk to when he has me. This is beyond infuriating and has only delayed my progress. Seems like therapy revolves around my interactions with him and then add my 18 yr old daughter. Given her age I'm aware she might not know what she's feeling and why but she's so obsessed with her boyfriend and if she's not in the 2 college classes she takes, both are at my house. I've talked with her about this and offered assistance with finding a counselor but here we are today and she's done nothing.
I know I can only control myself and my reactions but it's getting to the point that I find myself very angry because it's not only my husband but now my daughter.
All I want to do is be alone since the two of them constantly argue over the littlest things causing me to be in the middle.
I often wonder what it's like to be happy and around others who are happy. At this point all I want to do is be alone all the time. I hate being angry all the time and that leads to questioning what's the point of living.
 
Hi @Punky143 👋 can you maybe try to get some alone time just for yourself to escape the house, like maybe go to the cinema or out for a coffee? Something recreational where you can be kind to yourself? It sounds like you could really do with something like this.
 
I understand your deep frustration. Like the Mariana Trench

Can you plan time alone with daughter as well? I’ve started walking with mine a lot more and we talk and are bonding so much

And about him not sounding supportive I’m so sorry. Is it a deal breaker for you? Not suggesting ending the whole thing but perhaps a line in the sand because…how do I say…I’m mad for you.
