Thanks for the words of encouragement Alexandra. This is a very insideous disease. My wife is incredibly smart and she knows what to say to others in order to be 'enabled'. There are seven symptoms of PPD, of which you only need to show signs of four to qualify. My wife exhibits all seven.

We are both seeing a marraige counselor together and I am seeing another counselor on my own. I am personally frustrated because whenever I see a light at the end of the tunnel and think it is daylight, I quickly realize it is that 'train' still boring down on me and my two little girls. I wouldn't wish this on my worst enemy.

What I am craving right now is to know there is someone else going through what I am and to just share a few thoughts with one another in the hopes of gleaning something, anything. I love my wife dearly, but I fear I am getting to the breaking point after almost 5 years of this mess. Is there anyone out there?
