CVA, I don't know your W's whole story, but it sounds similar to my W's. I have thought for some time that she is suffering from Depression (relatively mild), but cannot see a way in our sitch to talk to her about seeing a Dr. Maybe in your sitch this could be possible? Anyway, DR has a good intro to depression and there are other good books out there which might be a help in determining if this is a possibility (I am reading Talking to Depression by Claudia Strauss).
Otherwise, keep up the DBing and watching for those baby steps!
