H in MLC, trying to DB

[movinup]

Hi, glad to have found this place but sad that any of us have to be here. I believe H is in MLC and it is crazy in this house!

In April H admitted he was depressed and not enjoying anything in life. He said he even had to fake being happy when around our D who is 9. Having been depressed before I knew I couldn't help him and just tried to take any pressure off him at home and be pleasant. The summer went along and things seemed to be ok, we were doing things, ml, family time, etc.

In August my oldest brother died suddenly and it was a difficult time. BD was at the end of August, ILYBINILWY, never been happy, the usual script. He wants a D but agreed to stay in the house because D has severe anxiety.

I started DBing as soon as I found the book and we had a few pleasant weeks. I pulled away and he was flirty and talkative. The next week I get the D talk again. Is that common? It seemed like he suddenly realized what was going on and that he was chummy with the enemy and had to put me back in his place.
