Dear Abby: Husband won’t stick with therapy despite depression, anxiety
A wife says her husband repeatedly quits therapy when sessions start to address core issues, worsening his depression, anxiety and straining the marriage and relationships with their children.
DEAR ABBY: I have been married to my husband for 10 years. Ever since I have known him, he has had issues with depression and anxiety. I have tried to support him through these diagnoses.
He has attempted to go to therapy several times, but he never sticks with it. Once the therapist gets to the point where they start to get into what he needs to work on, he quits. He claims no one understands what he is going through. This has impacted every aspect of his life -- sleep, eating habits and his controlling attitude toward me. He also works out excessively (like five hours a day).
