Raising a child is VERY HARD. Don't let people try to tell you its easy. Explain to your husband the problem your having. I'm sure he will understand. I doubt he will want to give up a child though, maybe go to day care will help you with that.. HOWEVER

If you feel like your going to do something bad.. CALL 911

No, I would never do anything to hurt my son physically.

I would just leave.

Think of how you are going to feel in 10 years.. Would you forgive yourself for giving up your son? Maybe you just need someone to help you out.

I am a little confused. Do you want to leave your baby and your husband? Just leave everything and start over?
I also want to say that you may not sorry if you were to give your child up for adoption. I was adopted and I think it was the smartest thing my biological mother did. She gave me to a family that could provide for me, loved me and wanted me.
It sounds like you need to talk to some one like a counselor. Many of your feelings sound like a type of depression that could be managed. You have several options but first start talking to your husband and work together. You need time away from teh house. Find a hobby, volunteer, join an organization. You need a social outlet so that your every waking minute is not focused on just your family but you have time as well.

IF he really cries that much, take him to the doctor, its not good if a child crys nonstop for over 3 hours.. What do you feed him? MILK? My brother had a 2 year old just like that, she would cry all the time... come to find out it couldn't digest milk..

Leave your family? Clearly you are under a lot of stress. Chances are you have lost who you really are. You are not living the life that you were meant to lead are you?

You need to find joy in your life. If any of what I said has related to your situation I strongly suggest you look into books regarding this situation. One book I just read, reminds me exactly of your situation. It is by Dr. Phil (the TV psychologist) called "Self Matters" It was an excellent book and an easy read. It addressed issues regarding your situation.

That being living a false life in which you fail to life an authentic life. I really recommend you read that book. It will save you a lot of trouble.
