GB, that was helpful. I think I am in the "crashing" period you referred to, and if I don't feel better after my H leaves for his job in January, I will go to my dr. for antidepressants. I have been busy with GAL, 180, etc, but I am physically and mentally exhausted.
I was wondering what your take was on my situation. I know it is long and I don't want to hijack Mahhhty's thread, but my big issues are that my H has aligned himself with his parents against me and also has a dysfunctional relationship with our daughter age 14. Last year she had a "breakdown" and was acting out violently, H couldn't deal with her rejection of him and her issues (it was really bad and he thought I was choosing her over him, I understand why he felt that way but I was just a very desperate overwhelmed mother dealing with a suicidal 13 year old ), which drove him to an EA, and then the EA encouraged him to open up to his parents who told him it was all my fault, they have always hated me, I have destroyed his life and theirs........ my story is pretty complicated. But I am wondering if you get a chance to stop by my thread and give me your take on family of origin issues and the issues between my H and our daughter. It's ok if its too big of a topic to take on!
