Heywyre, You don't need a wand, just your support is helping! And there is a part of me that knows things can get better. But after 12 1/2 yrs. of M, the empty house gets to ya. Lord knows, though, that I have PLENTY of projects to keep me going. I guess part of my depression is what has me looking at the glass as half empty instead of half full. I will probably take a short 10-15 min. stroll, but it feels so good just to communicate about my feelings. And yes, I see a C, but its in the context of MC. And the MC is recommending AD's. We go to our 3 rd session on 5/7. For some reason, I am beginning to develop a fear that my W will drop out before then. I have no factual basis for this, just a fear. And one of the things that piss me off is that my MIL, whom I had a good relationship with before the split, hasn't called, sent a card ,etc. Same with others in her family. It's like being put into solitary confinement.
