My wife has suffered from depression for years and refuses to seek any professional health. She often flies into a rage at things and I get the silent treatment so I never know what I did wrong but can only guess. This cold shoulder can last from 1 day to 1 week. I'm at a loss on what to do, I try speaking to her and reassuring her but to no avail. When she does speak, it's to bring up the past wrongs and hurtful things. My young son and I are on a knifes edge around her and I am worried about him since he has been showing signs of overreaction to the smallest things.
I feel anger but I'm trying hard to stay calm, but feel a lot of guilt when the past is brought up. I feel I am going slowly insane and want to walk away sometimes.
Sorry for the rambling post, but any suggestions on how I can persuade her to get treatment? And also any tips on how I can help her if she refuses treatment?
