Hi DocJohn ~ My ADD/
Depressed partner refuses to get help, & wants to stay in the same unhealthy, destructive loop our marriage has always been in.
I am the accommodating one here & it has set us on a course that feeds into itself like a mother eating its' young.
The good news is I can see it for what it is now, where as before I only struggled on in the wake of broken promises/manipulation & misdirection, not knowing what was going on.
I feel only despair, as he takes us down, emotionally, spiritually, financially.
My cleanup crew mentality has ended with my own post traumatic headache syndrome that is a never ending, mind numbing pain in my head.
He is visibly afraid as he sees he will have to step up & be responsible for his own behavior/mistakes. I can't fix them anymore.
I live in fear of what the future will bring. I need a little encouragement. Today is not one of my good days. Is there a kind word out there...?
