ITH,

Thank you for giving me that information. I have suggested to H several times that I think he has all the symptoms of depression but he denies it to me. I have spoken to a DB coach and my IC. Both agree since he denies it to me, I need to stop pushing that on him. I stopped mentioning anything over one month ago.

His boss who is also a mutual friend of ours asked me about two weeks ago what is wrong with him. When I asked her why she was inquiring, she said he is acting "unprofessionally" at work and she is concerned. I gave her my theory and some contact info for people who help lawyers w/depression. She and I agreed I need to stay out of it. My nephew and he were friends before all of this and he has been reaching out to H, but H won't return his calls or emails - withdrawing. I think he will have to hit some sort of rock-bottom first.

I think it is great that your H has texted twice in only four hours of being apart! That must be an amazing feeling after having been separated. Good for you! And good for you for getting out some when it would be so easy to give into just spending the lazy day at home!

Beth
