Hey Jaye

Do you think the more detached we become, our observations seem more clear? At the beginning all I could see I saw through the haze of my pain and disbelief. But now I can see the elements of depression in all this.

How are you doing? You did wonderfully with H but how is wonderful job? I hope you are able to take some time for you.

Lots of love!

Hi Portia!

I agree with you about the observation observation wink

I believe depression plays a huge part in my H's life. I'm just left wondering what, if any, role that plays in my own determinations. I don't feel depression gives H a pass on his behaviors, but I don't know what my role as wife, as "life partner" requires here. I believe I am required to take care of myself, and of H. But you know what, allowing H's behaviors to continue unchecked takes care of neither of us. Heaven knows we (humankind we) resist change and only do so when forced. If H never faces the consequences of his actions he has no reason to change.

But this is probably going to get worse before it gets better.

I am doing "ok" for the most part. Crazy busy, no "me" time in any great quantity but I am starting to carve out some minutes and learning to say "no".

smile Thanks so much for stopping by Portia! I hope you are doing well, am heading to your thread now to find out.
