Thanks snodderly it feels like a great wound is healing and I know I am better than before but I still care for him so much and leaving him to "flounder" even though its all I can do right now is hard.I cant wait to see him again but have held back on inviting him to see my new place and he senses this and hasnt asked outright-just put out a few feelers" do you still need a wardrobe I will bring you one-I will let you know when I am next near York (where I live)"Am trying to detach and seperate myself from his life for now.We are still married-that means a lot to me.Dawn I hope you are well today and continuing to battle on with faith .I have been told that God never allows you more pain than you can handle but sometimes we are tested,arent we? May I ask do you think your depression is genetic or a result of childhood trauma?Perhaps you dont want to discuss it though. I am thinking of you anyway.Thanks both for your support x
