I can see more everyday how depression is at the core of this. She simply wants to run away to feel better. No responsibility, no worries... We all have those times in our lives. Again, they last a few days instead of a few years, but we do. I guess it's an honor that she's sharing them with me.

Mr. Fix It has to stand on the sidelines and watch.



Bingo!!! ^^^^^ smile

Same with my W, and she has said as much now that she has moved along enough and gotten enough clarity to look at it, and the past, and whys and such.

I am really thankful I got exposed to, and was really into, certain philosophies in my teens and twenties (stoicism, existentialism, "warrior culture", "military culture")...kinda got that fear of death and that urge to "run", out of me, at an early age.

Keep going!... Believe none of what they say, half of what they do...they are depressed, hurt, scared, overwhelmed, etc... smile
