Making the best of the mess.

[97Hope]

Journaling,

X stayed the night with me. She is in so much pain. I remember those dark days. Taking her to an in-patient facility this afternoon.

Her husband doesn't get it. He says she "lays around all day". It's kind of the standard thought process for those living with someone with depression. He's a wonderful man. Kind and caring and a big heart. I suggested reading some articles on living with a spouse with depression. He's trying so hard, but she's in a funk he can't reach her in.

I'm realizing that part of my story is being used to help others and I am thankful today for the people who walked beside me and for this group here who share their triumphs and losses. We can all learn from echother.

H has texted/called etc. If it's not about the boy, I don't answer. MIL texted looking for him. Ignored that one, too. I just can't be bothered by any of that right now. Didn't plan this as a GAL but it is part of my life for today, so I'm focused on being a good friend.
