RSK,
You don't ever need to apologize to me. Whatever you need to say, say it. It's so unfair that you were left to parent your parents and they ridiculed you on top of that. But that's not your mess to clean up. It's theirs. You were just an innocent child. Right now you need to focus on you, your children, your life and your future. YES, you do have these things. I know it's slow-going and you're frustrated. Who wouldn't be? But you've made it this far and you are about to explore some new options. You are being proactive. You are not just sitting on your a** doing nothing! You are managing a household and a teenager! Let your H do that for a few weeks and see how well he does. Most men would rather go to work. It's easier!
Now, a little bit about me. My Pdoc also does my therapy. She is treating me for major depression, major anxiety, attention-deficit and a sleep disorder(due to chronic pain.) I don't post much about my sessions because I only see her once every 3-4 weeks. I've been seeing her for 9 years and I love her dearly. If it wasn't for her, I wouldn't be here. I don't want to discourage you but I want you to be forewarned. Like Muff said, if you start taking ADs you might have to take a few until you find one that works. Over the years, I've taken more ADs than I can count. Either they don't work, side effects, whatever. Sometimes, my Pdoc has me take several at the same time(spiking.) Even though it's an anti-psychotic, my Pdoc gives me seroquel(300mg) and restoril for my insomnia. I guess what I'm trying to say is (and I know it's the last thing you want to hear), but be patient. You give so much to so many here at Babble. YOU DESERVE THE BEST LIFE HAS TO OFFER: JOY, HAPPINESS, LOVE, and most of all PEACE OF MIND. Please let me know if there is anything I can do for you. HUGS
