Snodderly- In reading your posts to other folks on depression, I guess I should give up any glimmer of hope that H would ever return.
SA,
While depression is difficult to watch and MLC have no guarantees, you do not have to give up hope.
As time passes, what you hope for may change, but good can come out of this even though it does not always seem like it in the present.

H once told me that you can not expect another person to make you happy, that it has to come within.
This is very true.
SA,
I wanted to quote your entire post but I decided to respond a bit differently.
Lately, I have heard a phrase several times that stuck with me…
Be the change you want to see.

I believe it doesn't matter what I do or don't do now will make a difference one way or another as far as ever having H return.
If you think you will fail at this, you will fail.
No one can guarantee your H will come back to you. But if you believe he won’t, then that is what you will get. If you believe it might be possible, but in the meantime you live for yourself and your kids, the outcome, after time, just might surprise you.
They tell us they are not returning. Some go as far as filing and even following through with the D. But that does NOT have to mean that it is over.
Is the old M dead? Absolutely.
Can a new M be created? Stranger things have happened.
Are you on FB? You really should become a fan of DB and people will find you.
