3kids - the mess you describe/ departure from 'herself' - depression? OM has to put up with that too, right now? Probably some criticism and frustration at this juncture. The competitive romantic in me says now is a good time to court. If she is not herself and violating her own values, life can't feel good. Show her a bit of concern, acceptance without yanking your own chain maybe?
