Do we just leave them to wallow in their depression???
I'm convinced there is nothing you can do to, ultimately, change it. In my case, my H showed classic depression in the early stages of our sitch, and (after I did everything WRONG for a year) once I started DB'ing, this man had NOTHING but positive, uplifting, comforting, securing interactions w/me, his kids, etc... He may have become easier to deal with (who can be pissy to someone kissing your arse?), but it didn't affect his depression.
Oh, God, Easter Dinner story was a riot!!! LOL How are your thumbs? I KNOW you're still hiding something from us!

Should I go on with a few of my other concerns?
That is quite enough! I hear ya!
