My W always was a little off. Depression issues. Her family is a mess and I thought I could rescue her. For a long time it was good, but the down periods got deeper and longer.

Even in the last three years there would be nights where the old W would break through her wall and she'd say "I do love you. I don't know why I act this way."

The only way she'd turn back to me now is if she hits rock bottom and finally figures out there is no magic formula out there -- either you are happy or not. It's up to her.

I don't see it happening. I see cold-eyed determination to prove that I was the source of her unhappiness. It'll be interesting to see -- from afar -- what happens.

Sound familiar?

I just hope I get enough time with my girls so that they don't fall into W's family mess. Four women completely unhappy and blaming the world for their misery.
