Depression Support Group
Depression is a real and debilitating condition that is often misunderstood by family and friends. Its meaning can range from a prolonged period of sadness to an actual mental illness with specific symptoms. Find and share experiences with others who are going through the same struggles.
My wife has come back after leaving me for 8 weeks. She only came back because she wore her welcome out where she was staying and had really no place else to go and she assures me she will only be here temporary. I have found her a job and she starts work Tuesday morning. Her reason for leaving is I slept ALL the time and she took it as I lost interest in my family and that caused too much damage since I had been that way for over 3 years. What we didnt know until it was too late, I had been suffering from depression all that time but yet she had enough of me and left me anyway.
I have been trying to get her to understand my view and now I'm doing better and not sleeping until it's time for bed to start a new day. I want to do this for several reasons mainly because I see it's hurting our son that he is acting up both at home and school and he is only 7.
I feel she will let me get close enough to her and leave again with me holding more pieces of my already broken heart. She filed for divorce on Halloween day and came back 10 days later.
I already feel as if I had died and my misery that I have been going through is my hell. I am scared that matteres will get worse for me and put me over the edge.

I suppose the ball IS in her court now, since she is the one who decided to leave.....
But, regardless of the outcome of your relationship, you can always be a loving and attentive father. That, in itself, is worth the effort....
As far as matters of the heart...well....maybe she just needs to see a change....But, if you feel she's going to make you worse. Then, that is something that goes against your recovery, isn't it? That should be discussed if such proposal arises.
That's all I got. The heart can just rip us a new one without permission, I know.
First and foremost, get well.
I don't know if you WANT your wife to come back to you... and there lies a 'problem'...
I think that as she has filed for divorce, that's it.
Whatever, where ever she went.... Didn't work out for her... She came back... To YOU? For YOU? For who you are 'Warts & All"? Don't think so...
'IT' the dream / desire (that she left for) didn't work out for her...
Sorry about your child.... Kids can be HIT the worse....
Hugs,

Ten years ago my then-husband walked out on me when I was recovering from depression. I was devastated, but then the fact that he left actually helped my recovery. People who are not supportive during your times of need only drag you down.
Good riddance.
