    Sorry to gate crash the Ladies Lounge but I need help. My wife suffers from severe PMT, it is affecting our marriage, I dread that week and try to avoid spending time with her. Sometimes she can be violent. The rest of the month she is brilliant and we have a good time with one lovely child. I don't know how long I can keep going. Can anyone tell me what is the best way to help with these mood swings, I've asked my wife to look for help and I've explained how it is affecting me but she is reluctant. Help please

    Show her this. Is she like this with everyone during that week? Or is it just with you? If it's just you that bears the brunt of it, ask her why she's capable of self control around others but takes it out on you. If it's the case that she takes it out on you, it's an extremely unfair, unloving, and childish way to behave.

    There are treatments available, if she won't seek help for her own sake, impress on her that she must do it for yours.

    If your wife is hitting you then you should talk to someone about it.

    YOU cant help these mood swings. Only she can, and if she is not arsed to take responsibility and go to her GP to get help to manage her moods then you have to do the only thing you can do. Report her abuse and violence to Gardai the next time it happens and protect your child from it. I know quite a few sufferers of severe PMT but none of them are abusive, despite the horrendous moods they get, and they would take anything to resolve it.

    I've no doubt she is moody with it, but is she physically violent with others outside the family, or is it just you and your little one that suffer with her behaviour? If its just you two, then its likely not just PMT.
    Please contact Amen.
