Glad to hear how well you are doing, T2! Funny, my W sounds much like your W only she wants to believe that she doesn't need IC or meds anymore because I and our M was the cause of her depression. I wish my MIL had the guts to talk to her D the way yours did. She feels the same way, will say the same things but won't say the words to my W for fear of being seen as "unsupportive". The thing is she is losing her D day by day as W has totally stopped caring about her and her mothers side of the family and only about her father. Someone really needs to have a talk with her about getting help. Not me of course, as all that would do is make things worse. I really hope your W gets the help she needs so badly. Every time my W started to feel better about our M before she left, she would say the same thing about being afraid that she would just want to leave again later. Must be a common fear.
Awesome to see how well you and your sons are doing. I have only girls myself, makes for a whole different atmosphere and conversation subjects! You are so lucky to have them most of the time. I really feel most natural, at my best, when with my girls. You sound like a great dad, T2. And a drama free R? I wonder what that must feel like!
