Hi Number 8, I have been reading your thread for a couple of weeks and I admire your wonderful strength and humor (I am sure it doesn't come easy, but you are a model for me).
Uh oh. I don't want to be responsible for bringing you over to the dark side.
Really, though, it's much more enjoyable to try to have a good sense of humor and find the funny things in all this. Sometimes they are few and far between, but they're always there.
I'm very lucky to have a wacky family to keep things interesting, too. My late maternal grandfather always said, "You can pick your friends, but there isn't a d@mn thing you can do about your relatives." I hear these words in my head AT LEAST once a week.

I don't feel competent to give advice (I am totally messed up and trying to figure things out: here's my recently posted thread ) but I just wanted to say that I am there with you. My husband is also depressed and has embarked on a path of destroying our marriage.
Oh, I'm so sorry. I'm even sorrier that you know firsthand how painful it is to watch this person destroy things and be unaware that he has a part in it. I hate that my H doesn't realize the depths of his depression. It's been hard for me to accept that I can't help him, no matter how hard I try. Sucks.

Your weekend sounds wonderful, and your laughter yoga spread its good results through the internet, as I had a good giggle myself, imagining all the things you had to do
It makes me laugh every time I remember it! I really laugh when I remember pretending to tickle my new large Soviet friend with a feather as he cackled loudly and squirmed. I'm laughing now as I type it.
