I have been married for 11 years. My husband suffers from depression and is on medication. When he does not get enough sleep, he becomes extremely annoying and there are times he becomes verbally abusive. Before the medication it happened more often.

We have twin eight-year-old girls and they now see this. We just spent a weekend camping and he was in a horrible mood the entire time and ruined it for us. He doesn't call me names but he makes smarta$$ comments to me in a condescending way. He speaks very rudely to me. When I call him out on it, he says "this is the way I am, if you don't like it, you can leave." Yet when he is well rested, he will write me a card that says I deserve so much better. I know that I do! When he's well rested, it is all good. But he doesn't do a good job of taking care of himself. I'd like a commitment from him that he will do so!
