Caregiver of children and blinde husband

...See more Hello I am 34 years old have 4 children 13, 9, and 7, 6. They are home schooled. There are two parts to this storey so please bare with meI am a paid caregiver for my husband who went blind in a terrible accident (edited for content) in 2020. We just recently got married this past June 2021. Our lives really haven't been the same since he went blinde. He's been dealing with alot of emotions like feeling self hatred, soulless, empty, like a failure,nd angery. I'm a very resourceful person just as a week of him being in the hospital I got him set up on disability ssi, got bosma for the blinde in the works, vocational rehabilitation to help find him employment, seeing eye dog services you name it. But now after reaching his miles stone's in mobility to move forward they want him in mental health but refuses. I'm trying everything to support him but he seems to blame me for the reason he's blinde because he helped me get my kids back. And feels no good deed goes unpunished. What can I do? How can I convince him this would be good for him? Like I said at the top I'm a mother of 4. My 13 year old is giving me such troubles that it makes me feel like I'm not doing enough as a mother. He's ADD, ADHD & ODD. He sneaks at night into food, snakes, electronics, ect.He hides food in his room, in his closet and under his bed. He doesn't seem to show he cares about consciousness. He's been in therapy with no success, phycology as of now. Been trying to find a mentor, or a program for kids like him. He's not necessarily a troubled teen, but he and I need to try and find away to communicate and comprehend choices and consciousness of actions. Most of the time I feel like I'm the only parent that goes through this. (Edited for content by @peaceloveandpaws)
