@Bubbles3 ..... maybe call Carers Australia yourself and ask them how to help your husband ?

Can you speak to your doctor ?
It is easier to support a carer to support their family member than it is to try to support a family in breakdown Hon, so it is very good, and important, that you are continuing to speak out and try to find that support.

If they are stepping in to help @Bubbles3, then they will be speaking to your hubby and will help him to see that you all need the support, including the kids. The way he is treating you right now is making things worse, but he obviously doesn’t mean to because he has done his best to be supportive up until now.
He is not a mean person, right ? Just a carer who has reached his limits, but you as the lived-experience one need him to stop behaving that way towards you.
He is going to have to accept outside help because you all need it.

I had a husband who said I was "never good enough." Dont believe it. He never found anyone better that made life tougher for all of the children. I believed it and it took a while to shake off the negative programming. There is no perfect person or parent.
@Bubbles3You can only do your best and that should be enough.
