Getting Un"Stuck" - Giving My Burden to God

[MrBond]

A little update.

Saturday came around and she went into work. I took my Ds to their soccer game and called my W during the half to give an update. She seemed pretty happy about that.

Afterwards, we went home and waited for my W to head over to the carnival. She came by around 2:30 and we left soon after. The carnival was great, just crowded. I was dad of the year there having fun with my Ds. A few times, my W got the stick out of her butt and laughed. We were able to talk and have a good time. I asked her a few times if she wanted to play or ride anything and she just said 'no'. Don't know how someone can choose to stay down, but oh well. We were all exhausted when we got back that night.

I gave her one of my shirts and a pair of shorts and said she could change into them as she didn't have a change of clothes. She snapped and said 'No'!. I pulled her to the side and told her that I offered as a nice gesture and that she could stand to act alot nicer when things are offered. She said 'okay'. And was fine after. While we were in bed with our Ds, it was sooo normal. We were talking to each other like nothing was wrong and had a nice sleep.

The next morning, we got up to take my oldest D to a baton show and spent some time at the park together. We had a later lunch and came home after. Again, great time and she seemed to have lightened up. She left around 4, and when she did, I got up, gave her a hug and thanked her for the weekend. She said 'you're welcome' and as I walked her out the door, she turned around and said 'goodbye'. She seemed really sad to leave, but oh well.

My girls and I had a great night that evening and all in all, it was a good weekend.

One improvement over the weekend, was that she started actually starting conversations. I acted interested and engaged her, which helped to move things along. It's times like those that I see her old self peeking out of the depression, but one day at a time.
