Childhood Trauma, Postpartum Anxiety, and a Marriage Struggling With Addiction

I’m a new mom dealing with postpartum anxiety, childhood trauma, and serious stress in my marriage. I grew up in an abusive, chaotic home where my parents constantly screamed and police frequently came. My husband has struggled with alcohol and cocaine, and recently used Adderall after I explicitly asked him not to, then repeatedly lied about it. There have also been frightening safety incidents, including him being passed out drunk while feeding our baby and leaving her near a lit candle. I recently became overwhelmed and screamed, pushed him, and threw a pan. I deeply regret my reaction and fear repeating my childhood cycle. I want therapy, healing, and a safe home for my daughter.
