Ohhh Deb...

I know how you feel about wanting real affection and love. We do deserve that. I don't have any answers for you regarding WHEN to ask your H about this. Does he know he has real depression? Could he be drinking to numb his reality/depression? Is he willing to see anyone? Can the kids approach him? This is big stuff. Do you have a professional or councelor to talk to about this? Just wondering....Don't recall all the details of your past.

Continue to take good care of yourself. Your Faith is helping, I can feel the light glimmer through your words on the BB. You and your H are in my prayers.
