Post a new topicby roro73 on Fri Feb 13, 2009 1:10 pm

Hello. He's 36. My husband has huntingtons in his family. His maternal grandmother died of it. He has 3 aunts and 1 uncle that have it and his mother has it. His sister and him have not been tested. We have 3 kids. One I had in a previous relationship and I just had twins 8 months ago. We did IVF non-disclosing Huntington where we were not informed of his status but making sure the babies did not have Huntingtons. He does not want to be tested.

I've noticed the past year that he is angry alot, confrontational and mostly keeps to himself. If I don't agree with him about something he starts yelling and cursing. When we first married (its been 4 years) he was not like that. Now I pretty much don't say much to him b/c I don't feel like arguing. But he's fine if he's left alone to do what he wants meaning little to no interaction with me or the kids. I'm wondering if these are early symptoms. Can anyone give me any advice? Thanks.
