Hi Unchien. I don’t feel like I have anything super helpful or insightful to say, but I always feel supported when you chin in so I thought I’d try to pay that forward. I relate very much to the increasedanxiety/depression part of all of this that seems to pop up from time to time.

I can’t pinpoint exactly why.
I’m about to have my kids for Labor Day Weekend and.... I also haven’t seen them in 10 days and I feel like we are drifting apart.
I have no family support due to the estrangement with my parents.
I think you may have pinpointed why I have always tended to go inward in times of crisis, and since BD I’ve forced myself not to do that, for my mental health and that of D4. It sounds like between lack of close friends due to being newer to your area and familial estrangement, your circle is feeling small right now. Good for you for going to a men’s group to try to remedy that, I think that’s brave. Sounds like the universe may be telling you to focus on expanding your circle in new ways?
