OK - this gave me shivers. I have actually never looked at it like this before. You have given me much to think about.

And now while I think about it, my first severe breakdown and depression started after my baby was born and erupted about 6 months after when I had to tell my first husband to leave. I actually remember my GP telling me my depression was "situational". I had forgotten all this.

Thank you Rhapsody, for always being so insightful.
