About 4 years ago when we finally moved in together after getting married she went on long term disability due to severe depression. She was diagnosed with complex PTSD. Also a dear friend of hers committed suicide - that didn't help. I moved my business into our home and worked from home. We were constantly fighting the insurance company to continue her LTD benefits which was a big stressor on top of everything else. In Sept 2012 her mum came from overseas to live with us. Her relationship with her mum is conflicted due to their history. At the same time W & I were going to university (one course each) and working on buying the RH business. We bought the business IN Dec 2012 and then flew to South African to visit her family to see whether or not her mum should go back. It was a difficult trip as both her siblings are bipolar and it became obvious that her mum shouldn't return. So upon our return we started working on getting her mum to stay here, but then my W had to start running her new business which was difficult and quickly lead to burnout which I didn't recognize as I was excessively busy myself. That's when W started the A so she could get some peace and time away from everything.
