What a wonderful post, Miss A. Your son's description of depression really touched my heart.
I thought it was interesting what your H said about your birthday cake. My H has done similar things to me. He told me he didn't get me a birthday present because he was just worried about getting one from the boys. Now, this is the man who was never home at the time, always "running errands". He most certainly could have bought me a present, just like your H could have got you a cake. I think they give us lame a$$ excuses for things because underneath it all, they do feel guilty.
Keep up the compassion and understanding, you are doing great!
I choose joy with you
