I contrast your commitment and long-suffering with what I just read about a famous couple who 'grew apart' after 7 years because he was working in Europe for 6 months. That is the reason they split. Brother.<br />Way to hang in there. You're an excellent example to us all. And thanks for the list -- confirming that my husband is also depressed though not debilitatingly so -- yet.Cathynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2687606859829896255.post-6898674251459230942011-12-15T21:35:16.500-08:002011-12-15T21:35:16.500-08:00Opening up to those around you that you are strugg...Opening up to those around you that you are struggling is a hard, but one of the most important steps to everything working it's way out.<br /><br />I have a friend who is now in her 80's and she told me of the stigma of being 'depressed' and 'asking for help' when she was a house wife. Family against her, she went to a group counseling session and soon found out OTHER people felt the way she did. <br /><br />Remember, you are never alone. You just have to let others into your head, because we can't read it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2687606859829896255.post-46930607755949191852011-12-15T18:51:03.531-08:002011-12-15T18:51:03.531-08:00Candy I love you too! you are such a blessing to m...Candy I love you too! you are such a blessing to me.

I am mainly thankful that Bill is taking a leave and will have the time and mind space to deal with this. I will continue to pray for him and for your marriage and your family. I know this must be so hard. I am also glad that you have found some healing.<br /><br />Thank you for being willing to share this, as I am sure there are many wives who will be blessed by reading this and realizing that they are not the only ones going through something like this.Sharlahttp://thechaosandtheclutter.comnoreply@blogger.com
