My Husband has a spinal cord injury?
I take care of my husband and my 2 year old child. I am a stay at home mom. My husband will not do anything and complain that I do not do enough. We can not have sex anymore and sometimes that is fustrating but I dont have any energy to think about it anyway. My husband will actually go 1 month before he takes a shower because his leg spasms are so bad. The doctors keep giving him medicine that does not work but they wont change it. They say that it is working. My husband also had bad temper problems and I am at my last rope. I dont know whether to leave or to stay. I have tried to leave before but I have always come back. I am just tired and I can barley drag myself out of bed for our son. Help!

Good heavens. Your husband's behaviour is utter nonsense!
Spending one's life feeling sorry for oneself and refusing to shower is ridiculous. Yes, I understand that he is probably feeling utterly frustrated, but he needs to get on with his life and make the best of a bad situation.
With regard to the medication, you are fully entitled to request a second opinion and I suggest that you do so.
As far as your husband's behaviour is concerned, if he wants to behave like a child, I suggest you treat him like one. If he won't behave, then there is such a thing as "tough Love". This was originally used for drug addicted people, but works just as well for anybody who behaves badly.
As regards leaving him, that is only a choice that you can make. In the end,it is your son who is the most important, and you must keep your health up to look after and protect him.

Hi i am so sad about your situation, its tough but you have to do what is best for YOU, you have tried everything you can to get him to co-operate, and he does not even shower that often, sounds like he is wrapped up in his own self pity, no one can tell you to leave him, but think about this, could it be worse?, i don't think so
I don't know if your husband has a spinal cord injury - you don't indicate if he had been through some sort of trauma that would cause his legs to spasm. He could have a slipped or herniated disc that may be causing the problem - but that's besides the point. It sounds like he's being both verbally and emotionally abusive to you and your child. Regardless of his condition, it is important to think of your safety and your child's. It is important that you seek support for your situation -there are organizations on line and in the local phone book that are there to help you get out of your situation. Best of luck to you and your son.
