Been married for 24 yrs & 4 months. We have a 16 yr old Daughter with severe autism. I have stayed with my husband when he cheated & when he was an alcoholic. He's only been sober for 4 months. All we do anymore is fight, about every thing! After 24 yrs he still can't tell the truth. Acuses me of things I haven't done. Comes home from work 2 hours late and thinks I shouldn't be upset. I really don't like divorce.I think people promise "until death do you part" but don't mean it, but when is enough? I feel like he's taking a cheese grater to my heart and there's not much left. And yes, we have been to counceling...twice. Both times after a year they quit because my husband will not listen and take advice.

I suggest you not go to divorce if it is possible. I understand how hard to have an autism child in our life. I married for about twenty one years. I got a very smart girl who is 19 years old. We have very happy life. Then we have another lovely daughter and an autism son. Life suddenly becomes so hard for us. We can't do a lot of normal thing. We can't eat with our friends at the weekend. We can't enjoy our life as before. Both of us temper go up. We start to fight even it is just a little thing. We try to compare our works with our son. Then I learn that all of us need to calm down. It is good to our child. Because if we fight, he will get very upset. And both of us know he can't lose any of us. Good marriage is good to our special need child. They need loves.
Cheat before is not important to you at the monment. Also give your husband some space to relax too. Let him to take care your daughter sometimes and you can have relax time. Take care of yourself. Sometimes we are so stress and we can't think the things properly.

I think you should seriuoly think about divorce on both sides.
Divorce may sound the only way forward and if thats the case it probably is. A child with dissabilities may be different to other children, but only through their dissability. They will still pick up on tense situations, maybe even hear or sence the the arguing. No family is better off under pretence. I split with my fella of 7 years. I am currently trying to get my son diagnosed but even if he were diagnosed before the split, it would of still happened. The tears and worry and stress were getting harder and harder to hide from them and i didnt want my daughter to grow up thinking this is how a relationship should be. Put yourself and kids first.
