She said "I told him to call you because you're brilliant!" I was so shocked by the 'complement' I didn't know what to say.
"Thank you" would have been sufficient because she's just trying to get some money coming into the house.
So basically it's like she's pimping you out instead of doing something worthwhile to make a contribution herself.
Probably true to some extent.
I went to the Divorce care meeting this morning. One of the 'topics' the facilitator put out was 'letting God take care of things'. That is something I am doing my best to learn, to 'let things go' with faith that God will take care of me, my kids, even my W.
It's hard because I have such a need to do it myself. I'm going to keep offering it to God and see what happens.
One other thing, last night I just needed to get more information about depression and anxiety, mostly to 'pick me up' and help me feel like there is hope with the Lexapro I am taking.
Hopefully they won't get censored by the site moderators.
Anyway, they described my life the past year in amazing detail. But what's more interesting is that my W did all the "Don't do" items in the 'how to help' link.
In some ways it helps me to forgive myself because I can see I needed help. I can also see that I wasn't able to do it on my own. I wish I could explain that to W, and it might make a difference in her actions but I know that it won't.
But maybe these articles will help others on the board to see how their spouse might be in a similar place, or they them self are in this place. Get help, or help someone who needs it.
I'm still slowly getting better. I wish it were under different circumstances.
