Having a small child can really change your life and the dynamic in your relationships. Even though you may be glad to have your child, any type of change is stressful. The anger you feel towards your husband when he is away might be partially because you feel alone and vulnerable when he is not there. Raising a small child is very demanding and can be hard to do by yourself. I wouldn't necessarily call this a mental disorder although sometimes anger can be a symptom of depression. It is hard to say more though without knowing more about your symptoms. However, I think the problems you are suffering from would respond very well to some counseling, either individual or couples counseling. Also if you are spending a lot of the time during the day by yourself, you might consider adding more activities, especially activities with other adults.

Best of luck,
Dr. Williams
