Thanks for the perspective Pilot. I'm still so early into this process (3 months since the downward spiral, and only 6 weeks into our official separation.

I keep getting anxious about school starting soon, and this hope that the love of my life will realize that both of us were depressed, and that made it so I wasn't able to be her rock for a while. But I am on my way back to being her rock now.

I know everyone says that Patience is necessary, and time is your friend.... I guess I need to look back at my journal and see how much I have grown in the past 6 weeks, and to look forward to how much I will grow in the next 6 weeks... and the endless 6 week periods after.

I'm doing more reading about codependancy and the MLC process for Women.
