Dialogue w husband: Having a dialogue with your husband about how you are feeling (using "i" statements and avoiding "you" statements, followed by a request of him for specific assistance with the children could be helpful. If the two of you are not able to calmly dialogue, then couple's therapy might be a helpful way to learn the skills required. Ref: http://www.Strongmarriagenow.Com/communication-in-marriage/.

In addition to what : Dr wells suggests, reach out to your family and friends or consider speaking with a therapist on your own. There may be some ways to get additional help from mother's groups.
