We've been married a long time. We've had ups and downs like everyone else, but overall it's a good marriage. But recently, things have taken a turn for the worse. My husband has been relatively healthy his whole life, but now, he's got some serious health problems. And, he's middle aged. He's the families breadwinner, and for the majority of the time, I've stayed at home, rearing the kids, being a homemaker. My health is not so great either. Recently, he's been explosive and if I ask something like I need some money to go to the grocery store, he loses it (and on other subjects too). I've considered going back to work, but not only is my health not so good, my mother lives here now, and she's got Alzheimer's. My youngest son is smart, but he's semi-disabled, and would be in charge of her if I did. And I don't think it's fair to him. Besides, when the kids were young and I did work, he'd get mad if he didn't have supper after work, etc. How can I communicate with him?
