Thanks Lotus. It has been an interesting journey, but I think she really needed this length of time to process stuff.

Incidentally, I should clarify. When I say my W is cold and distant, it's not how she reacts towards me, it's that a cloud comes over her and she becomes melancholy. She's like this when she's just with the kids as well.

Her sister says she gets like that, but just blows it off. She's got clinical depression screaming out of her, but her family believes that things will "work themselves out". Total BS. Only a couple of her close aunts had told her she needed to get diagnosed and I never even told them what I thought. It's what they've seen on their own.
