The more I think all this over, I am increasing convinced that W is, and has been, depressed and exhausted. I think I shared that she works a ton (long days, evenings at home, many middle of the night interruptions) with emotionally challenging situations and hasn't ever slept well.
Anyone have experience dealing with depression as the "cause" of the WAW? Any suggestions other than counseling - trying to get that started already.
Yes.
In my sitch it was all self inflicted. I convinced myself that I was not a cause or a solution to her depression and walked away from that aspect.
