She was suffering from depression. At some point somebody called it "undiagnosed post-partem depression". Well, the boys were two at the time. Long story short, she had a breakdown in the spring of '03, got into therapy and on medication, but it didn't really help, and things started to fall apart. I became more and more disengaged. In July of '03 she asked for divorce, and I can see by the first posted in piecing that by Sept. 30 we had resolved to reconcile. So, the whole thing was pretty short-lived. Took a few months to put things back together and figure things out.
Bill, I am continually amazed at the similarities in our situations! My W suffered a bad bout of post partum depression back in 2001 after our first son was born, which led to her first WAW episode. She moved out for a few weeks, but just as in your case, we put in all back together within a few months. I have to admit though, our M never was quite the same again. We didn't deal with the real root causes of our problems.
