Well, good night and good luck. I don't like settling for baby steps either. It seems a pale ghost in comparison to what I used to have. Also, if someone's depression turns particularly mean, they give you no choice but to get away. Don't feel guilty whatever you do. Sounds like you already gave it a fighting chance and he hasn't met you halfway by getting help for himself. You will have to decide what you want to do about that. Good luck.
