Just Tired

[TiredTN]

Oh she definitely has depression.
She is taking stuff for it, and it helps, but only to take the edge off.
Her family dynamic is pretty sick too.
Before we were married (before I even knew her) she had an aunt that started making up lies about her.
My wife's brother's wife (her sister in law) was pregnant. My wife's aunt starts telling my wife's mom that the baby isn't the brother's, but is actually my wife's.
My (now) mother-in-law believed it enough to travel a long distance to visit to confirm she didn't have a baby. Now...what the heck kind of aunt would make up that kind of stuff and what kind of mom would believe it?
Her family lies to each other like they are pouring breakfast cereal...it's just no big deal.
Except they all get upset when they catch each other doing it.

My wife in turn lies to the kids.
Mainly about small things ("we are going to leave without you")that do scare the kids sometimes.

So depression? Yes...but there is oh so much more than that.
